Ok.  I see what you are saying with the old code.  Sorry about that.  Do
you have a sample file that I can play with to test my fix?

On that note - here's an unrelated simple case that the old mailinfo got 
right, but the new one seems to screw up: multiple Subject: lines.

The old one would make later Subject: lines override the earlier ones, and 
I depended on that when I fix up peoples emails to me manually (you 
wouldn't believe how bad explanations or subject lines people use for 
perfectly good patches ;)

I see what happened.  The old code allowed rewriting of the mail headers
but blocked rewriting of the inbody headers.  For some reason I thought it
was by accident that the mail headers were allow to be rewritten.  Oops.
:(

I wrote the code to have both header types block rewriting.  I'll change
that.  

Cheers,
Don
