OK, try the below. I tested it once on expe...@foo.com and it did what I expected it to. (I also adjusted a bit after testing so I hope it still works.) set editor=new-mutt-message.sh contents of new-mutt-message.sh... #!/bin/bash FILE="$1" DIR=$(echo "$1" | grep -o '.*\/') TMP=$(echo "$1" | grep -o '[^\/]*$') cd "$DIR" csplit -qf "$TMP.parts" "$TMP" '/^$/' RECIP=$(cat $TMP.parts00 | grep -im 1 '^To: ' | sed 's/To: \(.*\)/\1/') case "$RECIP" in expe...@foo.com) sed -i 's/^Subject: .*/Subject: Expense Report # /' "$TMP" ;; mark.h...@oracle.com) sed -i 's/^Subject: .*/Subject: Did you bring a lunch?/' "$TMP" ;; esac rm $TMP.parts* $EDITOR $TMP
