If I use Calibre's email feature to email to my Kindle address, sometimes the title plugboard is effective, sometimes it's not. It is consistent within a book (book X works, book Y never works) but I've tried tweaking various things and can't get it to ever take effect on book Y.

If I email book Y to my own email address, the plugboard is effective.

My only working theory is that there are multiple possible "title" metadata fields, and some other one than the expected is preferred by the Kindle PDOC importer.

Have tried both old and both for MOBI conversion.

Plugboard is
any format:email = {series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|]: }{title} -> title

Does anybody already know the solution, or how can I better troubleshoot?
