3.2.2: Forwarding Mail

When forwarding a message, the format of the `Subject:' header field can be modified by the variable mh-forward-subject-format. This variable is a string which includes two escapes (`%s'). The first `%s' is replaced with the sender of the original message, and the second one is replaced with the original `Subject:'. The default value of `"%s: %s"' takes a message with the header:

To: Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
Subject: Re: 49er football
From: Greg DesBrisay <gd@cellnet.com>

and creates a subject header field of:

Subject: Greg DesBrisay: Re: 49er football
