Speaking as one totally ignorant in Formail, in the following recipe how
does Formail determine which part is being set aside as the $MATCH?
* ^Subject:.*\[SLE\] \/.*

I use the following to remove part of the subject of certain messages
with pretty good success.
:0f
* ^Subject:.*\[SLE\] \/.*
| formail -bfi "Subject: $MATCH"
It wouldn't be to hard to add text anywhere within that line just add it
before or after the $MATCH, before would be what your desiring. So, to
make it do what your looking for try the following.
:0f
* ^Subject: \/.*
| formail -bfi "Subject: blah $MATCH"
just replace 'blah' with what you would like added to the subject and
add the following rule after it to forward.
:0ac
! address(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com
Which basically means that as long as the subject rule processed and
finished correctly, then a copy will be forwarded, otherwise it gets
processed by the rest of your rules.
