I sent the test email myself from one FC4 system using squirrelmail to another FC3 system, and manually typed the Aaaaa Bbbbb Ccccc....Hhhhh Iiiii Jiiii is out of the office in the suject line. I found if the total length is 65 or less, procmail works, if longer than 65, it does not function. Hope more people test it e.g. enter the subject like: 123456789 123456789 12...... is out of the office to see what happen. Hongwei
