We already have HeadFilter and TailFilter, also we have PrefixLines. I would vote for SuffixLines as it sounds best matching to the already existing PrefixLines filter (to me).
For me the terms (h)eader/(f)ooter/(p)rolog/(e)pilog/suffix(sx)/prefix(px) have a kind of "directional meaning": * header and prolog is a paragraph before the current position - it is up to the current position * prefix is left of the current position * suffix is right of the current position * footer and epilog are paragraphs after the current position - buttom to the current position +-------------------+ | h,p | +----+---------+----+ | px | current | sx | +----+---------+----+ | f,e | +-------------------+ Jan >-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >Von: Dominique Devienne [mailto:ddevie...@gmail.com] >Gesendet: Donnerstag, 7.
