Your mail script would look something like this. Note, this is not a drop-in solution. You should understand what it does and make appropriate modifications for your table, field, and desired results.

var comment = current.comments.getJournalEntry(1);

var dateRE = /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.*\n/;

template.print(comment.replace(dateRE, ''));

The dateRE line is a regular expression. See episodes 31 and 32 of TechNow for more information. TechNow Episode List

The line basically says look at the beginning of the text for 4 digits, a dash, 2 digits, a dash, 2 digits, a space, 2 digits, a colon, 2 digits, colon, 2 digits and a bunch of stuff after that followed by a new line.

Then the "replace" says 'If you see that, replace it with nothing'.
