Can the new TB or SM filter on the *content* of the header as well as on its "type"? Headers have types (don't know the official name): "Reply To", "Delivered To" etc. and each type can take any of several values. For example, the "Reply To" header can take a (list of) e-mail address(s) as its value. The "Delivered To" header can take as a value "moderator for .." among other things. And so on. The *mail* module of the existing TB can handle user-specified types and values. The *news* module can only handle a few built-in types but can handle values for the types it knows about. Can the new SM not handle types and values in both news and mail? -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
