Try

Great that got rid of the leading spaces. :-)
SUBJECT=`formail -xSubject: | sed 's/^ */ /g'`
I had to try this without the ^ because (as in my original example) some
Subject lines have multiple spaces within them.
Subject: Re: spelling diagonal angle
So using the -zx option on formail gives me
Subject: Re: spelling diagonal angle
whereas I want
Subject: Re: spelling diagonal angle
(note the extra space between "spelling" and "diagonal" in the first one).
When I use sed with 's/ */ /g' what I ended up with was
Subject: R e : s p e l l i n g d i a g o n a l a n g l e
Not at all what I wanted! :-( Even quoting the space to make the sed
instruction
/\ */ /
hasn't helped. Still gives me the spaced out version.
So I'm getting there but not quite as quickly as I should.
