I could suffer the occasional message-ids as that might be in the message
body as they of low incidence.

Being perl-challenged I was wondering if anyone has addressed this on
their own. I'm also unclear as to if a new filter should be written or
just the mhtxtplain.pl could be have the script that handles the header
fields added or if all the filters would have to be modified.

Thanks for  your response,
