Subject: Subject change

Is it possible to change the subject of a message that is forwarded by a
.forward file?

I want the subjects from all messages, forwarded from mailbox one to mailbox
two, automatically preceded by the text '[one]', brackets included. Is there
any way to change the subject?

Thanks for helping me out!

Sure, but that's nothing to do with pine. You'll need a filtering program to
do that for you. The procmail package, e.g., comes with a program called
formail that does exactly that (and a few thousand other things, too).

Read the Filtering FAQ by Nancy McGough at:

        http://www.best.com/~ii/faqs/archive/mail/filtering-faq/

Also take a look at Marianne Aldridge's FAQ collections at:

They're provokingly cute, but good.

Cheers,
Robin

       On the package it said: "Requires MS Windows 3.11 or better"
