Oh I understand now what is happening. The subject is coming in as three lines. Subject: Tornado Monday, 03/27/2017 at 20:27:02. The Point BB.OBSURGRH is in Alarm at PRI3 with a value of 63.4 %.Informational Text: OB SURGERY HUMIDITY ALARM I'm not getting the second two lines. How "should" one correctly get the subject ??? What I did was in my .procmailrc file SUBJECT=`cat | grep Subject:` So this resulted in only the first line and not grabbing the additional 2 lines. Is there a way to correctly get the subject that I have not found? Thanks for the tips. It led me to the above. Jerry
