Sounds like quite a challenging problem in its extreme...  :)

Since there are only about 350 of 'em, and editing will probably be
necessary
on most of 'em anyway, I'll bet it's quicker just to pop the whole thing
into
an editor and delete stuff by hand.  If you could do one every 10 seconds,
then you'd have it done in an hour, which is certainly less time that it
would
take to write a program to do same correctly in all cases.  :)

Todd, that is exactly what I have in mind. Next monday, when I'm back at
work, I will start on it. Over here (at home) ftp doesn't work.
My idea was to cut&paste al the spamcake into a spreadsheet, so I can
filter all duplicates out.
And THAT's why I don't want my boss to see my monitor; he might start
getting the idea that I am *working*...
