Ron,
It is section 48 in the spec.txt
Remember to update the length number at the start of the line when you
rewrite the headers in the script.
Here is the part you are interested in:-
A blank line separates the envelope and status information from the
headers
which follow. A header may occupy several lines of the file, and to save
effort when reading it in, each header is preceded by a number and an
identifying character. The number is the number of characters in the
header,
including any embedded newlines and the terminating newline. The character
is
one of the following:
<blank> header in which Exim has no special interest
B Bcc: header
C Cc: header
F From: header
I Message-id: header
P Received: header - P for 'postmark'
R Reply-To: header
S Sender: header
T To: header
* replaced or deleted header
Deleted or replaced (rewritten) headers remain in the spool file for
debugging
purposes. They are not transmitted when the message is delivered. Here is a
typical set of headers:
111P Received: by hobbit.fict.example with local (Exim 4.00)
id 14y9EI-00026G-00; Fri, 11 May 2001 10:28:59 +0100
049 Message-Id: <E14y9EI-00026G-00@???>
038* X-rewrote-sender: bb@???
042* From: Bilbo Baggins <bb@???>
049F From: Bilbo Baggins <B.Baggins@???>
099* To: alice@???, rdo@foundation,
darcy@???, editor@???
109T To: alice@???, rdo@???,
darcy@???, editor@???
038 Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 10:28:59 +0100
The asterisked headers indicate that the envelope sender, From: header, and
To: header have been rewritten, the last one because routing expanded the
unqualified domain "foundation".
Hope that helps
Gavin

Hi it says in Phil's book (pg 251) that the exact format of header files
is described in the reference manual. Where does this live exactly.
Sorry if I am being dumb here, we had a lot of emails in the queue
pointing to a domain that no longer exists so we had this great idea of
knocking up a quick per script to edit the -H file for each email. Now
of course we get Format error in spool file when we try to deliver. It
looks fine and -Mvh lists it all perfectly so will have to see what we
have done.
