What is the corect way to rewrie the subject line?
'Correct' depends on what you want.
This preserves the original but stuffs a word in at the beginning:
message = Subject: *Suspect* $h_Subject:
CAVEAT: Unless you specifically strip the ORIGINAL 'Subject:' it
will still exist, just be pushed down, and 'usual' no longer
displayed even in view-headers of an MUA. It WILL still show if
they have a true 'View ALL headers' or if view message source is
used.
Generally more good than harm to leave that in place.
Except that RFC5322 forbids multiple Subject: headers. So, it may
produce unexpected results. Better to remove the original header.
It's still completely recoverable.
It certainly does at time of initial composition & submission.
I'm not sure it is still harmful at time of last-mile delivery into
mailstore, as no other MTA would ordinarily see it as 'primary'
"Subject:" header thereafter, even if forwarded.
I don't disagree with stripping the original - just have had no problem
with NOT so doing for lo these many years.
