Hello,

one list I am subscribed to adds a prefix of "[TheList] " even for replied
messages leading to threads of the sort:
[TheList] Subject
[TheList] Re: Subject
etc.

How can mutt be told to recognize this? I tried setting

set reply_regexp="(re|aw):[ \t]*"

which threads the replied mails together, but not the initiating one. I guess
that reply_regexp is matched and removed from a subject line leading to a stem
like "Subject" in the example above and this does not match to the thread
parent "[TheList] Subject". The following works halfway, but is ugly and error
prone:

set reply_regexp="^([[]TheList[]] (Re: )?|(re|aw):[ \t]*)"

OTOH you may argue that the mailing list software is broken, and should not
have propagated the "Re:" part to the middle of the subject. But that I cannot
change unfortunately. (The mailing list software is "Lyris Server version 3.0"
and the list itself is the linuxconf list).

Regards, Axel.
