Subject: Gull ID thread

Hi everyone,

I have collected the entire recent thread concerning Gull ID.
So far, the thread represents a compilation of about thirty six
postings on the subject by such local authorities as
Dennis Paulson, Gene Hunn and others. It provides a very nice
alternative source to the field guides which contain only a
paragraph or two.

If anybody would like a copy please E-mail me at
cccc at mead.u.washington.edu
(Do NOT use the automatic reply and do NOT E-mail me at cccc at u.washington.edu
for I will not receive your mail).

Also, I have written a UNIX shell script which edits saved E-mail threads,
removing all that extraneous crap like
Revision:
Message-Id:
Errors-To:
Reply-To:
Originator:
Precedence: bulk
X-Listprocessor-Version:
etc. etc. etc.
retaining only the Date:, From:, and Subject: lines.

Here is a copy (useful only to those who have a UNIX account)

To use it:
1. Put the script in a subdirectory under your home directory (for example
/home/bin) and make sure that this directory is included in your
PATH variable. The file should be called "mailedit".
2. While in that same directory type (at the unix prompt)
chmod u+x mailedit
3. Anytime you wish to cleanup a saved thread (in ANY directory), for example
a thread called "gull_id", make sure that you are in that directory and
simply type (at the unix prompt):
mailedit gull_id

If you have any problems with the script, E-mail me.
