Uhhh, maybe this wasn't so clear.  Like this Bourne shell snippet from
a weblogs program:

report_daily_abridged="me at foo.com you at bar.com"

for name in `echo $report_daily_abridged`
    do
        egrep -v "send body lost connection" \
            ${archivedir}/${yy}-${ym}/${yd}.${hostname}.error_log |
        egrep -v "SSize" |
        egrep -v "send body timed out" |
        egrep -v "lingering close lost connection" |
        egrep -v "read request line timed out" |
        /bin/mailx -s "$hostname ABRIDGED web errors: $yd $ym" $name
    done
