I just noticed the option that lets me hide the subject tagline, so I'm just turned it on. A few messages came through unremarkably.

But see at the end of this post. Two messages arrived that may have been sent as one message from UPS.com. Notes:

1. The vendor's disposable address, which they gave to UPS Quantum View, is BulkFoods. That is, with those two letters in upper case.

2. The first message looks normal to me.

3. The second message has the same body, but
(a) the first X-Spamgourmet: line has bulkFoods, and sez message 2 of 20.
(b) the second X-Spamgourmet: line has BulkFoods, and sez 3 of 20.

Eh? Is that right? How'd it happen?

we just add the header without checking to see if one's already there. We should probably check for an existing one first. I don't know about the capital letter thing -- I think the code takes the "word" as it exists in the address, and that changes sometimes.

Same thing to me again, recently with the added delight of the message being in oriental characters

Subject: 金の流れに身を任せ。。。 (adlibcornertrivia: message 7 of 20) (ADLIBCORNERTRIVIA: message 8 of 20)

I'll send you the headers privately.
