The single command:
grep -v '^>'
will read standard input, remove lines which begin with ">", and write the
remaining lines to standard output. To put it into a script, create a file
which looks like:
#!/bin/sh
grep -v '^>'
and then make that file executable.

That's hard to say, since there are so many. It can certainly be made to work
with pine, which supports specifiable viewer filters.
