I'm looking for a script that can append text files - specifically Yahoo! Groups mbox (example below).

I'd like to append them so that a link to the original Yahoo! Group message (found towards the bottom of the header - for example, X-Yahoo-Message-Num: 15306) is printed above the text in the body of the email. For example:

Yahoo-Message-Num: <A HREF="yahoogroup">15306</a>

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam etc....

Anybody have a script that can do this, or can point me in a direction to go about making one?

Many thanks in advance,
