My question regards scripts to ease processing of these mailboxes.  Since the

In many cases, it's not only non-trivial, it's impossible. Most MUA's re-encode, strip down the headers, etc, etc when forwarding. Unless your users are careful, reconstruction is going to be impossible, as some of the data has been removed.



Does anyone, on the list, have or know of a tool that will reliably extract an
original messaged from a forwarded message?

I'm unsure if one is even possible.
