I think the problem migth started with an upgrade or update on the senders
Outlook Express. Because the procedure worked for some time.

If this is the case, isn't better to forget the 1st line method and use just
the header one? Or maybe use the subject line to do the job ?

Just an idea. Don't want to mess with your business.

I'll be talking to my development team to change our application so it
include the Approved header in the message as it is more reliable.

Thank you very much for your time and help.
