I understand now what you are reporting.  I agree, the behavior
is inconsistent to what a user may expect.

The routing that converts the message header fields into html
works on the $fields hash directly, and since SUBJECTSTRIPCODE
is not applied to $fields->{subject}, the original subject
text will be rendered.

It appears that the fix you suggested is the simpliest that
fixes the problem.  I may add something that stores the
original subject in a special key of $fields for any
callback routines that may need it (and for potential
debugging purposes).

I was not aware that this field was a raw value. For some reason it was the subject field in the generated messages. I am guessing that I did not set up the mrc file properly because I did not use $SUBJECT$.

The subject field shows up as follows in the output messages:


<!-- MHonArc v2.6.10 -->
<!--X-Subject: Re: Basing ... -->
<!--X-From-R13: "Rvvv" <vvv...> -->
<!--X-Date: 8 Apr 2005 03:55:46 &#45;0000 -->
<!--X-Message-Id: 003b01c53vv$vvv4095c45@D7VQX661 -->
<!--X-Content-Type: text/plain -->
<!--X-Reference: d33vvvv0@vvvvv -->
<!--X-Head-End-->

<!--X-Body-Begin-->
<!--X-User-Header-->
<!--X-User-Header-End-->
<!--X-TopPNI-->


<!--X-TopPNI-End-->
<!--X-MsgBody-->
<!--X-Subject-Header-Begin-->

<!--X-Subject-Header-End-->
<!--X-Head-of-Message-->

<!--X-Head-of-Message-End-->



My mrc file specifies subject for the current message in one place:

<FIELDORDER>
from
subject
date
-extra-
</FIELDORDER>


I guess this causes the raw value to be emitted. So from what you are saying, it seems I should be using $SUBJECT$ instead.

[Not a Bug]

I'm not sure where the bug is.  The $fields hash is an
internal data structure, and only exists for the life
when a message is converted.  After that, the subject
in the db is all that is known.

For custom coding purposes, the special x-mha-* keys
of $fields is defined for custom code to see what
mhonarc will use for certain data fields.  The $fields
hash is intended to represent the "raw" original data,
which can be accessed via callback routines.

As of now, I believe things work as designed.  Unless
more information is provided to justify this as a bug,
no changes will be made and this item will be closed.

A subtle behavioral note is that is Subject is specified
in the FIELDSTORE resource, then the original subject
string will be stored, not the one "stripped".  IMO, this
is acceptable since $SUBJECT$ should be used for rendering
subject text.  I.e.  It would be odd for a user to double
store subject text unless they have a need to store the
orginal unstripped version.

Sorry, it should read:
$fields->{'subject'}[0] = $sub = subject_strip($sub)  if $SubStripCode;

SubjectStripCode is not applied to subject strings stored in the message itself. It is applied to the subject string stored in mhonarc.db, so it is also applied to any subject links FROM the message, just not the subject of the message itself.

In mhamain.pl:

from:
$sub = subject_strip($sub)  if $SubStripCode;

to:
$fields->{'subject'} = $sub = subject_strip($sub)  if $SubStripCode;
