Or, if you know a little Perl, you can modify the code to do
what you want. The place to do it is in mhamain.pl and in the
routine read_mail_header(). Just add your code after the part
where the subject is extracted; there are comments in the routine,
so it should be easy to spot.
Note, having the ability to massage subjects is a useful function.
I hope to add it for the next release. One will have to know
a little about Perl regexes inorder to use it.
