because it was sent from an unsubscribed account. I guess
that was allowed though eariler.

Yeah! that is true. Most of the field selection and other
stuff is done using macros. The generated code uses these
macros (or at times function calls). For instance you have
something like this (in case of Tau generated code).
## define yExtract_<sort>(a, b) ((a).(b))
All you would have to do is to tell Tau that you will be
providing the definition of the yExtract_<sort> and that
it should not generate it(using ##ADT). Then use a
## define yExtrace_<sort>(a, b) ((a)->(b))
All this is pretty much documented in the Tau docs. And as
I said, your SDLs may not be easily portable.
