# Pipe to grep to show only lines containing the word "description".
# Pipe to sed to strip out "description: " at start of line.
# Pipe to sed to change " ... " to a blank line.
# This is because " ... " is the delimiter I've always used in TBird
# notes where newline or any other special chars, including non-ASCII
# Unicode chars, cause the text of the note to be base64 encoded in the
# LDIF file, not shown as plain ASCII.
