A few days ago there was a discussion right here about exactly the same topic. You already use procmail? Good, then let procmail remove it. > Therefore I'd like to apply a hook such that the mutt browser removes > patterns like ^\[(.+)\] from the Subject line before displaying them in > the browser for certain folders. It's not a good idea to remove ^\[(.+)\]. I suggest to look at the listname and remove all appearances of [[]listname[]][[:space:]]? (note: no ^) since it will also repair broken subjects like: [list] Re: [list] Subject to Re: Subject HTH, Cheers, Rocco.
