[a revised edition of my previous golden words of wisdom, resent 17 Mar 1991, before it gets too stale. Posting is better than mailing recently around here.] The answer is simple, folks. A regular expression of the headers you'd like stripped on forwarding messages. This should be independent of any other regular expression currently used. Furthermore, if one would give an argument of say 4 (C-u z) then a different header-killing regular expression would be called to kill the headers, defaulting to consist of only "^X-VM-". This second regular expression when you want the recipient to see all the headers, say, when forwarding to postmaster for analysis. Let's not use up all the possible arguments to "z" at this time, so only 4 (^U) should have the meaning of invoking the second regular expression. See, a very flexible, all-problem-solving solution [typical of my billion dollar brain. Smirk.] Now trunder forth and implement, my fellow VMians! P.S. Furthermore, I would like the UUCP "From " line at top given some due respect in forwarding, etc. reasonably soon. Sometimes that's all there is in the headers around here. -- Dan_Jacobson@ATT.COM Naperville IL USA +1 708 979 6364
