RFC2822 Mail Headertrimmer
==========================

This is an all-purpose script that can be used to filter any
RFC2822-compliant mail and e.g. manipulate it's headers somehow.

This does not use any Mail-Tools-packages as they do not honour RFC2047,
i.e. MIME-encoded headers. It's very important to be RFC2047-compliant when
users are mailing with 8-bit characters in e.g. the subject-header.

The example function the script makes the script pluggable into an existing
mailinglist to trim multiple "Ang.: Re: Re: Aw: SV: [mylist] Re: [mylist]"
into a unified "Re: [mylist]". This is very easy to change and every header
manipulation is configured in the script as a call-back-hook. 


Note: Headerlines that are structured, like From, To, Cc and such should
      not be manipulated by headertrimmer.


Share and enjoy!
