No don't do that, as it means the headers are now non-RFC compliant, and - if for example a message is exported and imported somewhere else, who knows what another app will make of the "|" character. (The 'usual' | is only usual in RO, and even there, only common in Obey files.) Instead, either delete the headers concerned or leave them in prefaced with "X-" so they become "X-References:" and "X-In-reply-to:". The standards say that any process can add "X-"anything headers without affecting how a mail will be processed, which is why different mail transports, ISPs etc already add "X-..." stuff. If I edit other headers, eg "Subject:", sometimes I keep the original one X-prefixed (as X-Subject) and insert my own new Subject header. I might do this if I think I may need to refer to that mail in a discussion in future, at which point I'd otherwise have forgotten what it was originally called. -- Jeremy C B Nicoll - my opinions are my own To unsubscribe or subscribe goto: //www.freelists.org/list/davidpilling
