Hello,

I'm trying to figure out a way to do some cleanup on the subject of
the messages I'm receiving, before TheBat! stores them in its DB.

As an example, here is a subject I'd like to cleanup:
*****SPAM***** Re: R�f. : Re�: R�f. : Re: <actual subject>

Because everyone is using a different mail application (Lotus Notes,
MS exchange client, etc) the subject keeps getting polluted more and
more each time someone replies. Furthermore my ISP adds this **SPAM**
thing before mails coming from some addresses.

Anyway. In Outlook, I had a rule to be executed on incoming mails,
which would run a VB script (yikes) and modify the subject
accordingly. This was working, more or less.

Now in TB! I'd like to have the same thing, but haven't been able to
find a way to do it yet.
- I can't run a macro on incoming mails (which would be the simplest way
I guess).
- I tried to use the "run application" action, where TB! exports the
incoming mail to a file, but this export is just one way; TB! doesn't
read back the exported file, so it's useless.
- I checked the plugin API, but it seems that the only function that
gets called on each incoming message is the TBP_GetSpamScore function,
which only allows reading data.

Someone in TBBETA told me that I could use the "run external program"
and from the external program, cleanup the exported message, then run
thebat /import.
As I did it by hand (launching a text editor on the exported message,
modifying it, then running thebat /import on the modified message) it
works, although a bit painful.
Furthermore, most of the subject I receive are quoted-printable
encoded (or even worse, B64 encoded!). But I worked around this too, I
found / made some code to decode that.

I'm still wondering if there is an easier way though :)
