Hi Philip,

The problem is that for all of us who're forwarding, to a (in my case
hosted) gmail account because we access mail from multiple systems and
FreeBSD (reasonably enough) doesn't offer IMAP services, can't really
filter on the mail headers such as X-Git-Repository - at least not that
I've been able to find.

I guess I'll go look for another solution then.

Yours,
