If you're on some sort of Unix system, you might actually be able to do

Ah. That I might be able to learn. Thank you.

You're welcome; I hope it turns out to be useful.

PyModerator takes the approach of creating a proto-article using only
the following headers from the original email message:

 
Does it retain or strip X- headers?

It strips them. I'm not sure whether this is the Right Thing; it seems
like there'd be some value and no particular harm in passing X- headers
through unchanged, but keeping only a strict list of allowed headers
makes things simpler with regard to avoiding bugs and ensuring articles
are correctly-formed.

I haven't solved the problem yet, and let me be the first to object to
my own moderator succession plan as wishful thinking on my part.

Good to be thinking about it, wishfully or not, and I hope you can
persuade others to join you. Best of luck.
