That was many, many years ago (I've been using gmane.org for a long
time), and I don't have the procmail files any more. But after a
quick glance at formail's man page, it looks like the '-I' option lets
you replace a header field. IIRC the procmail delivery line just
called formail and passed it the -I option with the new subject line
(created with sed probably).
