I knew it. the specification for filters *starting from version 0.00* has been : *Ignore* everything until <<MAIL-DATA>> and if you will rewrite the message, leave those lines *intact* in your new file. This has been true for years and it will be true forever. A filter written for version 0.00 will have to work with version 10.0, and the only thing that filters might have in future in a more rich parameter passing. But this does not have to be handled with magic version numbers but with good programming practices. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
