Thanks for looking at this!

Made the change - no change.  But let me make sure I'm doing what you said
in exactly all the right places, given an out-of-the-box install.

I made the change shown above in /usr/local/share/apsfilter/bin/apsfilter,
and I double-checked /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/apsfilterrc.  I don't know
of any other places to be looking (far as I know, I have never explicitly
configured a local apsfilterrc, certainly not with 7.2.1, and I think I've
cleaned out whatever remained from 5.2.0).

Reading apsfilterrc, it doesn't look like anything is going on in there
to override the line in the filter.

So, unless I'm wrong in one of these areas, not sure what to do next.

Thx,
