if you are using SVN for the repository for the data, you could use a hook 
script that does the "cleanup" before sending the mail. that would apply 
to all the devices. the logic in the hook could do all sort of processing 
(figure out who to send to, based on the device config being updated, what 
lines to remove before sending, etc...)
