Actually, back before I learned perl, I wrote a small C program called 
"trimhdr" to do something very similar.  It read an RFC822-formatted email 
message on standard input, dropped all the headers but To:, From:, 
Cc:, Date:, and Subject:, then preserved the body. 

When reading my email, if I wanted to print a message, I piped it 
to "trimhdr | lpr" and saved some paper as well as adding readability. 

You don't want to see the C code.  It wasn't very pretty. :-)
