Most of the people I deal with are pretty stone-age when it comes to their mail tools, and their idea of how to forward a message is to simply insert it into theiir sendmail buffer, so I'll get messages of this form: Date: Wed, 3 Mar 93 10:06:07 PST From: ...these are the actual message headers... ...commentary... Date: Thu, 18 Feb 93 17:24:28 EST From: ...these are the headers of the "forwarded" message... ...body of the forwarded message... Yes, this is a bogus thing to do. And yes, there's no way I'm going to convince every person I correspond with to change their decade-old patterns of mail usage. I want to reply to the message that has been forwarded to me, and normally I would do this by bursting it first. Has anyone expanded vm-burst-digest to recognise anything that looks like a message header as a message block, as a last resort? (Sometimes, but not always, there's a ">From " line in there too.) -- Jamie
