I developed a piece of code to rewrite the Subject: header of incoming mails with a prefix indicating which remote account had received the mail. (I forward mail addressed to many different addresses on different remote servers to a central account.) I hasten to add that turning off this code has solved the problem cited in my original post.

1. First I get the 'payload' of the Subject: line into a variable.

if (/^Subject:\s+(.*)/) MSGSUBJ = $MATCH1

2. Then I get the oldest Delivered-to into a variable.

foreach(/^Delivered-To:.*/) DELTO = getaddr($MATCH)

3. Then I proceed through a series of if-else tests looking for a match to any of my forwarded accounts. If one is found a revised Subject line containing the prefix pertinent to that account is inserted. Here's one such test.

TEST = getaddr("er...@pet-fish.org") if ($DELTO eq $TEST) { MSGSUBJ = "<ERIC> $MSGSUBJ" xfilter "reformail -I 'Subject: $MSGSUBJ'" }

Your comment leads me to think I should, above, quote $MSGSUBJ as it is passed to reformail? I.e.

xfilter "reformail -I 'Subject: "$MSGSUBJ"'"

???
