I don't forward the e-mails encapsulated in an attachment. But maybe I should. Based on experiments it does appear as if the original headers are intact within the attachment. I'd just need to do some manipulation of the e-mail once I receive it to strip off the top-level encapsulation (I think). Thanks for that clue, Moritz. I'll have to do a web search to see if a utility already exists to the stripping. Otherwise, it shouldn't be too difficult via procmail and a perl script. Best regards, -- Mun
