There are tools on UPS's web site written in Perl and other languages. You can port them over to PHP. Or, go to http://px.sklar.com/ and find Jason Costomiris' scrpits that do exactly what you want. Oh, by the way, turn line wrapping on for outgoing email messages so they'll quote properly when people reply.
