This is taking a long time... let me step in, and PMFJI.

I will attach    SubjChek.cmd     which is a Rexx script I saved on the
fine "other" PMMail list (hosted by Steve Lamb, which tends to have 
more technical content owing to more "long-term" PMMail users hanging
out over there).  I received the script from Dick Reeser; I have not tried 
it and will not support it.  I have looked it over and it does appear to 
remove the      [*]     from Subject: lines.  Run it as a "Message Receive Exit" 
under the "Rexx" tab.

While looking for this in my archives I also found a filter which will strip
off excessive    Re:   Fwd:   preambles from Subject: lines.  This one was 
written by John Angelico; I have not tried it and will not support it.  The
name of it is     TrimLine.cmd       I have looked it over and it does appear
to function as advertised.

I plan to implement both functions here as they appear to be wonderful
additions.   (BTW, Xav, I agreed with you about the worthlessness of the
[*] preambles in the Subject:  lines, until I started to find a reference
message in this thread to reply to, searching thru my "Trash" folder.  I
realized that without the [pmmail-list] it would be more of a chore.  I
wonder if Jimmy could shorten this by 5 lines by changing it to  [pmmail] ?)
