Your comment about it "Maybe you meant feature poor?". That was a lame jab
that sounds like every other "Well if you used CPM and Lynx you could do
it". But yah, MS has huge corporate market share for exchange servers cause
they're feature poor. Sigh.
Anyways, if you use postfix, and can tell me how to add Subject tags, I
will. I followed the spamfilter manual on the SA site for making a
postfix/amavisd MTA:

Ok, so put the tag at the end then...?

Ironically, I spend more time on my linux/solaris machines than Windows.
They all have pros/cons and I really don't care.
I know that I'm not the only mail novice on the list that has no idea how to
mangle headers in transit to add/remove header/tags. We are not all
dedicated Mail admins. But I'll keep all my mail in an unsorted mess to save
those 3 characters in your 40 char subject field. Although unless there's
some simple regex rule that I can put in postfix or amavis, then you'll be
rid of at least a few more of us evil non-experts.
