Ahhh - okay, but my main problem is this.

I know that I can get the Subject by using HSubject: but I need to make it 
so that (possibly with a macro) the email is sent through, but has [SPAM] 
appended to the beginning of the Subject line.

Thats where I am having trouble finding a solution. I have an extensive 
sendmail book, but it really doesnt cover this kind of scenario as far as I 
can tell.

Thank you for your help,
Pete.
