Question fetchmail: forward mail changing subject
Hi there,

I receive job applications sent by a website daemon. The email subject contains the job offer description. The problem is that gmail tends to concatenate emails with the same subject and I don't really want all applications in the same email. Thus the from field contains the candidate email.
In short, here is what my gmail inbox contains. Each quotation box appears as one email in my inbox (but includes several applications):

All applications for #12345=Java specialist
