Thank you very much.

Looks like that will do it, if I add '--max-count=1' to the grep arguments (in
case the message body contains any lines starting with X-Spam-Status) and
provided that the relevant component is not multi-lined. I don't think that
that component is ever multi-lined.

Your reply strong suggests that there is presently no nmh way of extracting
the content of a component, taking account of multi-lined , MIME stuff, etc.

Again, thank you most kindly.
