The subject line change for messages by email means my message rules, which I use to sort all incoming mail into subfolders in Microcrap Outhouse Explode (Outlook Express, for the purposes of the search engine) no longer work. Outhouse of course does not allow me to just edit the existing rule, but it's possible to do so via Regedit. On the rare chance anyone else is afflicted by the same problem, I can provide instructions for fixing it upon request...

Sorry about that. I use the From: line to sort mine out (i.e. I don't sort them by boards) so I had to change my rule when we started sending from caravelgames.com instead of drod.net. The subject line was totally an oversight - I would have changed it when we moved over had I noticed it.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem, it was fixed in a few minutes. And truthfully, I was probably only giving myself a little public self back-patting, given how unlikely anyone else is to encounter the same issue :)

FWIW in Regedit, in Current Users>Identities>{some hex code} you can drill down to the OE rules, and each relevant rule has a binary key which stores a subject line filter, which can be edited, and partially copied and pasted if necessary (you can't just paste text in, so you need to copy and paste from the key text itself)
