Version: 1.7.50 (CVS/HEAD as of today, 2004/10/27) (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux Rewrite rules on outgoing messages don't seem to do anything. As a test case, I defined a simple rule. And sent a message like this: Subject: XYZ A Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 22:10:38 +0200 From: m@server.lan To: m@server.lan This appeared in the filter log, which looks quite promising: ------------------------------ [22:17:11] Evaluating filter rules: (match all of the following) "Subject" <contains> "XYZ" [22:17:11] 1 = "Subject" <contains> "XYZ" (XYZ A) [22:17:11] Filter rules have matched. [22:17:11] Applying filter action: Rewrite Header "Subject A B" ------------------------------ But the message came back as sent. The subject was still "XYZ A". Other actions (play sound) did work. None of the rewrite actions in this and other tests did work.

However I'm not sure, how to handle this report. Should we convert it to an appropriate wish? Should we close (and how)? Any comments from the core developers on that special issue?

Some messages sent to me have tags added to the subject, for example "[SPEWS]" (denotes messages from spews listed sources; http://www.spews.org/). I *do* want the tags there, so incoming filters aren't of any help. But, of course, when I'm replying to such a message, I want the "[SPEWS]" removed. So, yes, I'd like this report converted to a wishlist item. (The current filter on sent mail is of no use for me.)
