That's what I thought too! 8-}

I have been changing From and Reply-to, using formail. But it's a bit
tricky because there are at least two Froms in every email, and formail
likes to grab the wrong one first unless I'm careful to spot that and grab
the next.

In some cases I've deleted a header that was apparently vital to
having the message recognized as valid (by mutt), which is of courses
a /very bad thing/. I don't really understand mail-message format, and
I'm not willing to change that now.

So long story short, instead of cobbling together my own system for
rewriting headers, which is turning out to be more complicated than I
thought, I'm looking for a more off-the-shell solution.

TIA,
-Tim
