newsbody - Run a program on the body of a mail or news message

       Byrial Jensen <byrial@image.dk>

       If  some  system  call  gives  an  unexpected  error newsbody will stop immediately with an error message
       leaving its temporary files.

newsbody  copies the body of a news or email article in message to a temporary file (called the bodyfile)
       and then calls program with its arguments.  program is supposed to somehow change the bodyfile.   It  can
       for  instance  be  a spell checker. Afterwards the possibly changed body is remerged with the headers and
       copied back into the message.

       If message is specified as - then newsbody will act as a filter, i.e. standard input and standard  output
       will be used.

       %f  in  the arguments will be expanded to the name of the bodyfile, or - if the -f option is used. Use %%
       for a real % character.

newsbody uses one or two temporary files with names given by the mkstemp(3) or the tmpnam(3) function.

       -f     The called program is a filter so don't make a temporary file, but pipe the body to  its  standard
              input and read it back from its standard output.

       -h     Keep the entire header. This flag can also be used if newsfile doesn't have a header at all.

       -q     Also remove quotes before filtering the body. Lines starting with > are considered quotes.

       -s     Also remove signature before filtering the body.

       -k headername
              Keep these header lines in the bodyfile. Multiple -k flags are allowed.

       -v     Print the version and exit.
