As far as razor goes, subject lines don't matter, so don't worry about appended FW or RE in your subject lines. However, the body of the message should be untouched. Don't try to strip out ">" or whatever, because it's highly unlikely you'll be able to return the message to it's original composition. Instead, try to forward or "bounce" the message unedited.

That's called a spamtrap, and razor frowns on your auto-submitting spamtraps to them (as do other services like Spamcop). The best way to keep everyone happy is to human-review everything before you submit it. I maintain a spamtrap. It gets about 300 spams per day, and I submit them in batches after I've taken a look at them to make sure there's nothing collateral in there, and occasionally something DOES sneak in that is not spam. In fact, Spamcop turned off their "quick" reporting feature because too many people were reporting the latest Microsoft virus emails as spam. I can only assume this was a direct result of too many people "auto" submitting emails that came into their spamtrap. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
