Without seeing the whole script, it's very hard to say. It's not uncommon for this error message to be caused by a quoting problem somewhere pretty far from the line indicated by the error message; if a misplaced quote hides a "fi" from the shell, it will still be looking for it when it gets to a "done" much later, and complain about the "done". (You seem to be missing a "do" after "while [ $semi2 -le 90 ]"; perhaps this is related.)
I hope you have indentation in your actual script to show the structure, especially if it's that long. You might want to use
code tags when posting code snippets in the future.

simplify
SIMPLIFY(1) General Commands Manual SIMPLIFY(1)
NAME
simplify - a script to simplify a MIME message
SYNOPSIS
simplify [args ...] < message > othermessage
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the simplify command. simplify is a Perl script to simplify a MIME message.
This script never loads the entire message into memory, but does dump it's entire contents to disk once.
OPTIONS
mime=no
Don't use MIME, no HTML mail allowed.
testing=yes
Run in testing mode (suppress randonmess)
saveall=yes
Save all attachments to files.
temp=/path/to/working/dir/
Defaults to /tmp.
url=http://box/path/
URL-prefix for printing paths to attachments
header=text...
Text preceding the attachment URL list.
textsig=/path/to/file
Text signature to append to text parts.
htmlsig=/path/to/file
HTML signature to append to HTML parts.
If "saveall" is yes, then the script will save all attachments to disk so people can access their contents later. If an URL is specified
then that automatically implies "saveall=yes". Without this, the default behavior is to only save text and html parts, and delete them and
all working directories when the script is finished.
