Hi

Using exim 2.04 I set up the following. Works well for orginal messages
but if I bounce a message (ie resend it) it gets through. The SUBJECT
header is still "ILOVEYOU" on a resend/bounce. All the original headers
are there plus some "Resent-*" headers. I went and was reading through
the 2.0 docs and didn't see anything there to catch this?

Thanks
Chad
