###    fixsubj - fix (add or change) "Subject:" on a mail message
###    Usage: fixsubj [+folder] [msgnum [msgnums]] -s 'new subj'
##
##    SOME PEOPLE DON'T BOTHER TO PUT A Subject: LINE ON THEIR MAIL
##    MESSAGES.  THAT MAKES IT HARD, LATER, WHEN YOU scan YOUR MAIL.
##    fixsubj LETS YOU ADD YOUR OWN Subject: LINE TO MESSAGE(S).
##    YOU CAN USE THE SAME SUBJECT ON MANY MESSAGES BY GIVING ALL NUMBERS.
##
##    IF A MESSAGE ALREADY HAS A SUBJECT, fixsubj WILL TELL YOU
##    AND ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO EDIT IT BY HAND, USE THE DEFAULT
##    FROM -s), OR SKIP IT.
##
##    TO USE IT, TYPE:
##        % fixsubj -s 'this is the subject'    (FOR THE CURRENT MESSAGE)
##    OR SOMETHING LIKE
##        % fixsubj +foo last -s 'a subject'    (last MESSAGE IN foo FOLDER)
##        % fixsubj -s 'my day' 23-25 42    (MESSAGES 23, 24, 25, AND 42)
##    ...AND SO ON.  THE SUBJECT, AFTER THE -s, SHOULD BE "ONE WORD" TO
##    THE SHELL... YOU'LL USUALLY NEED TO QUOTE IT.  YOU CAN PUT THE
##    OPTIONAL FOLDER NAME (STARTS WITH A +) AND MESSAGE NUMBERS (NUMBERS,
##    WORDS LIKE last, first:20, first-33, etc.) IN ANY ORDER.
#
#    NOTE TO HACKERS: TABSTOPS ARE SET AT 4 IN THIS CODE
#
#    USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.  SEEMS TO WORK, BUT IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
#    PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT BUGS AND FIXES: Jerry Peek, [e-mail]
