Thanks for you help, this HACK showed me how flexible/configurable is the
MHonArc system ! ( by the way it's working ! )

This is probably the cleanest solution.
The alternative is to modify the MHonArc source to insert the to: field
value into the subject. Or, *WARNING* *HACK* *HACK*, you can use
the SUBJECTSTRIPCODE to do this if you take advantage of some MHonArc
internals. When SUBJECTSTRIPCODE is evaluated, you should be able
to access the parsed message header by access the %fields hash.
Example:
<SubjectStripCode>
## Grab To: field. We assume only one To: field defined in message.
my $to = $fields{'to'};
## Grab "human" name (use extract_email_address if you want address).
## This assumes only a single receipient in To: field. If not, a more
## complex extraction may be required.
my $name = extract_email_name($to);
## Set Subject that MHonArc will use. We just prepend name.
$_ = "$name: $_";
</SubjectStripCode>
This is untested, so user beware.
