keeping To: and From_ when forwarding?

Howdy all,

I think I've stated my question farily well in the comments below. Basicly
the idea of the following recipe is to test to see if 'authorize' is
anywhere in the Subject: and if it is, then do 3 things:

1) send the sender a message stating that in the future they need to 
   send their 'authorize' request to a different address (erosters in 
   this case)

2) forward their 'authorize' request to erosters, keeping both the
   Subject: and body 100% intact, and making sure that the From_ header
   shows their address and the To: header is addressed to erosters 
   (this .procmailrc is for an account named egrades, which runs
   a similar, but different program).

3) finally, log the transactions in a special log file.

I'm only having problems with step #2. My tests with formail didn't
produce the needed results, but I am sure I'm just using the correct args
for the 2nd recipe [if it was formail-based]. Using v3.10 1994/10/31

Any tips appreciated!
