They have footers?
This is a portion of my recently assembled mail scrubbing framework,
slightly modified to be standalone.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys , re
message = sys.stdin.read()
# sf.net lists
pattern = re.compile(
r"""
(?mxs) # MULTILINE , VERBOSE , DOTALL
# the sprint ad sep. has 63, the list trailer has 47
^[^_\n]* (?: _{47} | _{63} )
.*
^[^h]*https://lists\.sourceforge\.net[^\n]*\n
""" )
sys.stdout.write( pattern.sub( "" , message ) )
:-)
You're welcome to convert that to perl (the regex is mostly p-c) and
apply it sooner (my setup applies the scrubbers immediately before
delivery).
