Hi,

For some reason uni has stopped pop and imap access to the groupwise
mail system.  No reason or warning given - that can't be good IT
practice right?  I can't get evolution working with groupwise, and they
only allow access to the server from within the uni network anyway.
Outside access is a web mail interface which is OK for travelling, but
not every day.

My solution is to set up a rule that forwards all mail to another email
account, then get Mutt to set the reply address to my uni one.  If I
edit the headers of the forwarded mail, the messages then look like the
originals (not forwarded from me).

I'm thinking of setting something up in my .procmailrc that strips those
headers related to the forwarding of the message, so they look sensible
when delivered.  Would sed or awk be the best way to deal with this? 

Any ideas?  It seems extreme to go to these lengths, but the university
seems to have taken an extreme policy on mail that has effectively shut
me out from using the mail dream team I'm used to...
