i think i understand what you're getting at, but i'd like to see it
be a regular expression that gets trimmed before the sort (i assume
that's what you're referring to). in particular, i get mail from lists
which prepend the listname. that coupled with mailers that do and
don't strip existing "Re:" strings gives subjects that begin with
any of:
[listname] foo
Re: [listname] foo
[listname] Re: foo
Re: [listname] Re: foo
(i realize that an expression that catches these risks corrupting
a valid subject. so far, i'm willing to risk that.)
That's a good idea. But I think that can be accomplished w/o a regex by
listing `[listname]' as a prefix to list for each list you are on.
I'm hesitant to try to use a regex because the only regex code in nmh is
strictly for pick and generalizing it or making it use POSIX regular
expressions is more than I want to take on at the moment.
Yeah, I'm chicken, I admit it.
Thanks.
