Ah, yes, that was it. It's not the default Norwegian setting, no, but I 
modified it at some point to get the timezone in the reply-header ("On 
xx <month>, at HH:MM GMT+02:00, <name> wrote:") in another email client.

Actually, I think it's fine with "Today/Yesterday HH:MM". It was mainly 
the "GMT+02:00"-part that bothered me, and with that solved, I guess 
there's no need to replace "Today/Yesterday" with the date.

Sure, no problem. Tried it with this email, and it seems to be working 
just fine (-:

Maybe one could hold down a key to avoid running the scripts in case one 
discovers a false-positive? That way we don't have to copy-paste the 
email or restart MailMate (to disable scripts). This would at least work 
for most of the events (email.reply, email.display, email.new). Maybe 
even specify an option in the scripts whether or not it should be 
disabled if this key is held down (in case you want certain scripts to 
still be executed even if the key is held down).

I didn't find it… The closest I found was the one that strips the 
MailMan footer (or, the '----' line, at least). But I guess I can figure 
out a way to do it -- the scripts seems simple enough, so maybe I'll 
give it a shot myself.

Maybe one thought could be to point 'script  =' to an external file? Or 
could you do like this[1] already? In any case; would be nice to avoid 
having to write all the newline characters if you end up with some more 
advanced scripts. Gets _a lot_ easier to read, too (-:
