Interesting.  This is what I read in the docs:

,----- [ XRay Readme ]
| Kludges may be changed in several different ways:
| 
| 1. "Change to text" - replacement of a kludge's value (the part
|     after the colon) with predefined text you enter here.
| 2. "Just delete" - remove the kludge; no one will know it was there.
| 3. "Take from file"  - exchange of the Kludge's value with a random
|     line from a file.
| 4. The "Special" type of kludge filter is explained below.
`-----

For the Subject line, I read that to mean that I can either replace
the subject with my choice of string, delete the subject line, replace
the subject with a random line from a file.  The special is a way to
add kludge lines from the specially formatted subject lines.

If you can do what you say, it sure isn't clear from the docs.

I fired up XRay - the first thing I noticed is that it conflicts with
Hotmail Popper (for accounts I don't need to filter).  Do I just
change the 110 in TB, Local Port & Remote Port to 111?

I saw a replace option, so I tried replacing '[foobar]' with nothing -
all messages received had their subject changed to '[foobar]'.  The
filter line was:

Type  Kludge   Action   Substitution   Stubstr
 P    Subject  Replace    [foobar]

How is it done?
