First of all thanks for creating a new tool for mailack. Now I noticed
in the hobbit-mailack.c file that it won't work without a valid Subject
line. Well when there is a mailack sent from skytel pager--which is what
we use--there is no valid subject comes with it and I attached two
sample emails, ack-email-from-skytel*, and I also attahced the
bb-pagerack.sh that I use if the email comes from skytel pager. Hobbit
checks the email in procmailrc and then redirect it to bb-emailack.sh
or bb-pagerack.sh based on the sender. Also I have two ACL files--one
for pager addresses and one for coporate email addresses--to
check if the sender is allowed to send an 'ACK'. I wonder if these
fetaures can be added in a future release.

Thanks again for such an excellent tool hobbitd
