retiring e-mail revisited

[Robert Threet <rthreet@yahoo.com>]

I've got thousands of copies of a 384k M$.DOC (I was
asked to send) littering my /var/spool/mail.  I'm a
little tired of backing them up and the info is now
useless since it was time critical.

Ethical Question
================
Q: Is it okay for me, the sender, to "expire" (that
is, "delete") this message from their /var/spool/mail
directory?

Technical Question
==================
Q: Got a good way to do this without damaging their
/var/spool/mail?  The idea of unleashing a really
complex regex on 10,000 /var/spool/mail records is a
little scary.  Hmmm... the messages all begin and end
with "--==__==__some_number__==__"

Maybe a perl script, split on
--==__==__some_number__==__ ?  Or, has somebody did
this already?
