Pardon me for interjecting myself into this question that you are asking Sam, but being the one who wrote the Courier patch for putting the message ID into the "Received:" header and the one who proposed this idea in the first place, I think I can give you a meaningful answer: You indeed have to read that message ID from the "Received:" header, because there is no other place to get it. That's the reason and the prime motivation for my putting forth that proposal and then doing the work. I wanted to accomplish exactly what you are working on within Courier::Filter (that is, to use that ID as a key for storing message information that can later be retrieved in a subsequent Local Filter step), and there was no way to do this unless such an ID were to be included in the message itself. Fortunately, that ID is guaranteed to always be found within the topmost "Received:" header, so it should be fairly straightforward to extract it during an early Courier:Filter processing step. -- Lloyd Zusman [EMAIL PROTECTED] God bless you. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
