[ Yech! What a mess! I wished there were more super-cite compatible
  mail readers in use out ther.  These citations have gotten very
  scrambled indeed, what with the "Steve>" and the "JB>" all
  intertwined. ]

I guess I will have to write an "expect" script and a "cron" entry to
do this automatically for me.  Are there Unix compatible off-line mail
