Is this necessary?  I'm using:

set reply_regexp=
    '^(\[[a-z0-9:-]+\][ \t]*)?(re([\[0-9\]+])*|aw):[\t]*'

and it's threading mailing lists of this type for me...

for example:
[ruby-talk:7097] Rubyize this method
[ruby-talk:7099] Re: Rubyize this method
[ruby-talk:7104] Re: Rubyize this method

are all threaded properly. (well, not as good as messages with
In-Reply-To: but better than having threads scattered all over the
folder)

perhaps the regex wasn't quite right?
