Yes, it is possible (and recommendable) to filter those AFRs into a
dedicated folder. That removes the ambiguity, but I still have to look into
the mails to see which of my domains this AFR belongs to.

For me personally the subject has no usable information with regards to
DMARC failures, but everyone as he likes ;)

But this is the very reason I post these patches here instead of opening a
whishlist ticket - I want feedback and a discussion.

Thanks for your input, Andreas!

I'll experiment a bit more with the subject of those failure reports - as
we post here, you will see my different approaches...
