You could try using fetchmail to get the messages. I believe Gmail
supports POP3. I know it supports IMAP.

For the mail you have, you could probably use sed to remove the
forwarding "boiler plate". Exactly how you will want to do it
depends on if the messages are in one big file, or separate files.
