I get some emails sometimes that have a long line of characters, usually used to mark a huge set of footers

Something like

============================
Text goes here

(or maybe -’s *’s or other characters.

I’d like to modify a message with, say, a line of 10 or more repeated characters and change that line to be a signature delimiter.

What do you mean "signature delimiter” ?

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_block#Signature_dashes>

As can be seen in all my messages.

I could not check it now but, you can try, find line with more
then three "="s

"^[ =]+===[= ]+$" and then count the "="s from the MATCHed:

* 15^0

1^1 MATCH ?? =

If found pipe it to sed:

| sed s/$MATCH/-- /

Do the same with "-"s and "*"s or change the REGX to [=*-]

One of the problems start if somebody use ascii-art to explain
you somthing

and will write lines like this.

If you don't care performance use the sed to figure-out instea
of procmail:

sed "s/^[ ]*=\{15,\}[ ]*$/-- /"

--Udi

vv right here
