The Subject: line of the message as it came to me was one long line. I'd
guess whatever you think is being done by "someone eles's mailer" is
more likely being done by yours and you're the only one seeing it.  That
is you and others using the same or similar software.

BTW, I've demonstrated that it is possible to remove the [procmail]
tag(s) before sending.  I submit that unless it was a part of the
original message it has no business being added to a response. Such
tags, if added locally, have no place outside the local machine.
