[Nottingham] Exim filtering

Hi,
I'm trying to use exim filters in a .forward file to alter the
subject of an email before it resends it to another address (so I
know where it's come from when it arrives at the new address).
It looks like headers add/headers remove might do it, but they're
only available in a system-wide filter not in a user filter.
So far, I've got
-----------------------------------------
# Exim filter
if error_message then finish endif
if $h_from contains x at y.com
then
unseen finish
else
deliver simon at leaky.org
endif
-----------------------------------------
This should only allow emails from x at y.com to be delivered to the
local mailbox, everything else is forwarded to my leaky.org address.
What I want is something to go in the else block that will modify the
subject, either prepend or append a marker e.g [TAG] to it.
The documentation on exim filters covers filtering based on subject
but nothing particularly helpful. The only other thing I can think of
is to use the 'mail' command to setup a new mail message entirely.
Any pointers much appreciated.
Simon
