No, that's not what this script does.. This script processes a mailbox and
removes WHOLE MESSAGES that are from your users, and then feeds any
remaining messages to the learner.

It does NOT attempt to do any kind of fixing of the headers to compensate
for forwarding. If the message has your headers in it, it will be discarded
by this script and not processed.


Read this a bit more closely. Note that it says it will remove "our own
users email". It does not say it will "remove our users email address from
the message".
