shell script/sed command help
First off I have read the man pages for sed and am still having trouble working on a script to remove portions of a log:

My goal is to take a log file to be emailed, read the file and strip the portions away AFTER the line MIME-Version:1.0
and strip away until it to the line starting with Content-Type:application.

(HOWEVER, i would like for the sed command to keep the boundry line written before the Content-Type:application line.)

ex. removing everything bold and italicized. note this will be static so it wont always be the same information or linecount.

Code:
MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable


Here goes nothing.
