If you use procmail instead of forwarding there won't be any extra stuff 
added to the headers to strip out.

As long as you're staying on the same server this will work fine.  If 
you're not staying on the same server then once a day zip up the 
mailbox and move it the box you need it on, and unzip it there.

That script would be so simple even we could do it <smile>.
