That gets round the s-nail dependency (the final step in my script), so thank you, but in my case (not so sure about OP) I need to recover, and send on as encapsulated, the original email that has just been bounced by the onward server, not the bounce message itself. Apart from your change to this final step, is there a much easier approach than mine in this situation?
