I suggest you try harder digging out the positive approach.  It's in there.

Check out the various predefined resource variables.  You can get From, To,
Subject and Date values and format your own presentation.  Just kill all
the predefined formatting with excs * and roll your own.


That's the workaround I have in mind if I can't actually fix the problem.
(Semantics, but when I was referring to a positive approach, I meant by
comparison to EXCS, not the fact that I can reject the entire thing and
then build something else that looks the same.)

My MHonArc archive for my Crossword PBEM RPG is almost set up to my (for
now) satisfaction, and can be previewed (with lots of very old messages) at
http://www.pennmush.org/~server/crossword/.  It's an unusual situation in
that someone else (a former player of the game) is providing the server
space that runs MHonArc and a web server for me, so I'm doing my work
remotely -- writing an rcfile and then emailing it to him.  Makes debugging
slow work since I can't drive the poor fellow mad with constant updates.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with my EXCS block.  Ideally I'd
like to get rid of everything but From, To, Subject, and Date.  But since
EXCS seems to be a negative approach, and I can't find a positive approach,
I have to find every field that might appear and exclude it.  This is what
I have:

<EXCS override>
apparently
comments 
content
errors-to 
followup
forward
in-reply-to 
lines 
message-id
mime- 
nntp- 
originator 
organization 
path 
precedence 
received 
references 
replied 
return-path 
status 
via 
x- 
</EXCS>

The in-reply-to, references, and comments fields just will not go away,
though.  I've tried shorter versions, with and without a space afterwards,
and with and without uppercase, though I don't understand why it wouldn't
just simply work.  It seems simple enough.

I searched the archives and found one other person asked the same question
about the in-reply-to and references field, another person just say "works
for me", and the thread ended there.  (At least that part of it.)  Can't
find any reference to this in the docs, FAQ, or anywhere else.

Any ideas?
