I know of no method of implementing #1 but an ancient mutt user and frequent list poster mentioned a sed script which strips extraneous mat'l from the "Subject:" header. I may have a copy of it somewhere having used it for a while, but that was long ago. I seem to recall it was Sven Guckes, and it appears he is still active, www.guckes.net but I have not seen him here for many years :^(. google may provide you an answer. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
