Ah, OK, my misunderstanding.  Any suggestions on how to successfully pass
that in the init script?  I'm hopeless at shell-script quoting.  I've tried
several combinations, including "", "\"\"", '""', and '\"\"'.  Most don't
work at all (they end up eclipsing the -U argument that follows); the last
one works, but ends up with a literal X-Scanned-By: "" header.

Heck yeah.. I have the advantage of being away from sendmail for 6 years, so
I just waited till the new bat book came out and learned M4 from scratch.

I don't really want to eliminate logging the actual changes to the mail,
though.  Is there a reason mimedefang doesn't check the existing
MIME-Version: header (which can really only be 1.0 anyway) before changing
it?
