Ah, I guess you don't. But I'd do it anyway just for the sake of sanity and consistency. As you point out later, if you attach sub-entities to the parent entity, they need the headers fully-specified.

But I guess I'm misunderstanding something fundamental because I don't understand how those two answers are not in conflict with each other. In other words, if the top-level headers can't be replaced by new values in the MIME::Entity->build() method, then why do I still need to include them when building the new entity? Perhaps you meant I need to include all header fields if they are part of a body part in a multi-part message? Again, pardon if my nomenclature/phraseology isn't exactly correct.

[Mimedefang] replace_entire_message() help
I need some help with the replace_entire_message() function. Apologies in advance if the problem is my novice perl knowledge. Assume $entity is the existing entity and $new_entity is the newly built entity. 1) When building $new_entity, does every field need to be included? Or will extra info be copied from the existing $entity? For example, suppose I have the following in filter_end(): $new_entity = MIME::Entity->build( Subject => $foo, Data=> $bar, ); Do I also need to specifically set Bcc, Cc, Date, From, Message-ID, etc. equal to the corresponding $entity values? Or will the extra fields be copied from $entity? 2) I can't figure out how to replace the Subject header - even with a string literal. For example, suppose I have the following in filter_end(): $new_subject = 'Replacement Subject'; $new_body= 'Replacement Body'; $new_entity = MIME::Entity->build( Type=> 'text/plain', Subject => $new_subject, Data=> $new_body, ); replace_entire_message($new_entity); What comes through the filter (received in the user's mailbox) is a text/plain message with the original subject and the replacement body. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Michael ___ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID. You may ignore it.
