nnrpd from the INN-news-server packages supports it pretty
well.
On Linux or Solaris it uses a rather ugly approach
that you might find in nnrpd.c from the INN-package:
It determines the number of bytes that are allocated from
argv [0] to argv [argc-1]+strlen(argv[argc-1]).
This area is "brutally" overwritten with the new title,
and this works fine.

Silly who think they know Exim have to be pointed to that
by the author.
If a "ps" would be sufficient, they would have already discovered
by themselve. :-)
