Hmm.  I get either 'There is no region now' or "Shell command completed
with no output' depending on where point is.  

If I use 'Output->pipe through a filter' to a one-liner containing my grep
statement, I get the message body cleaned of everything except the line I'm
after, but that's not what I need.  What I need is to send that line out to
a file.  I'm getting a couple dozen of these emails a day and I need to
collect those lines so I can feed them into a shell script about once a
day.

Aarrgh.  I've learned just enough about [X]emacs and gnus and lisp to know
the power is there if I can just figure it out...
