Editing Old Drafts and Bounced Messages
---------------------------------------

   The header fields specified by `mh-new-draft-cleaned-headers' are
removed from an old draft that has been recreated with `M-e'
(`mh-extract-rejected-mail') or `M-a' (`mh-edit-again').  If when you
edit an old draft with these commands you find that there are header
fields that you don't want included, you can append them to this
variable.  For example,

     (setq mh-new-draft-cleaned-headers
           (concat mh-new-draft-cleaned-headers "\\|^Some-Field:"))

   This appends the regular expression `\\|^Some-Field:' to the
variable (Note: Syntax of Regular Expressions.).  The
`\\|' means _or_, and the `^' (caret) matches the beginning of the
line.  This is done to be very specific about which fields match.  The
literal `:' is appended for the same reason.
