I couldn't get it to work with exchange. I'm told Microsoft is holding up IMAP requests. I did get it to work with cableone. The relevant account is a thin wrapper on gmail. I have the mail I want, sort of. I had to hit forward rather a lot. So all my messages are wrapped in forwarding boilerplate. Is there a convenient way I can unwrap them?

There's a form of forwarding usually denoted "redirect". If you can set the forwarding type in the forwarding account to redirect, the received message will look like the original (I think). I'm pretty sure Exchange is capable of this.

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.

I forwarded the 300+ messages to a gmail account one at a time. I got them on my hard drive using fetchmail.
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.
For a one-off, I think I'd use python before sed for something especially complicated.
The problem is I don't understand the syntax well enough to know what to do. When I vim the mbox, I often see what appeared to me to be random bits of base-64.
Now I think I have a clue. Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 means that the entire forwarded message text is in base-64 If I remove that line and decode the following base-64, I should at least get a better look at what else I need to undo.
I was rather hoping that I was not the first person that wanted to do this and that there was a canned solution somewhere.

I guess I did not see it as complicated. But this was before you said the message was base 64 encoded. But I would use a sed script file, not the command line.
Remove the forwarding header by matching the start/finish as an address range. Delete that range.
For me, it would be:
/Delivered-To:/,/-------- Original Message --------/d

I think that were it not for base-64, this would wipe out all the headers exept the first. It also wouldn't leave a blank line to bound the body.
Can I get rid of the base-64 by decoding it and removing Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 ?

I forgot to mention that if the mail is in one big file, it can be split using formail. It will also do some headers. You will have to check the docs to see how much of the work it will do for you. I have never used it to strip forwarding headers.
