[ILUG] sed

[olearypj at rte.ie]

Hi folks,
          I need to delete the header & keep the body of an email,I tried it
with the following sed command, 
     sed '1,/^$/d' email > emailbody.txt
to delete from the first line up to the first white space,
but all I get is an empty emailbody.txt. I've tried the command with small text
files with different numbers of white spaces & it works everytime.
What am I doing wrong with the real email? There is what looks like a few blank
lines between the bottom of the header & the body, co I'm confused

Thanks 
         pat
