I'm using mutt as a mail reader, and I love the message threading.
The largest mailing list I belong to has just instituted a bunch of changes,
and I now have a mess.  NONE of the messages will thread anymore.

Is this because there is no InReplyTo header in these messages anymore,
or is it because they are mungeing the subject header by pre-pending
[911] in front of every message subject?

The lack of an In-Reply-To: header is mostly likely the cause of the
problem.  It and the References: header are the only headers that
really specify what message this one is in reply to.

Well,
I've looked deeper (at old messages and threads I have saved) and none of
them have either the In-Reply-To or References headers, so I am assuming
that the addition of "[911] " to the front of the subject line is the
culprit.

How can I get procmail to strip this when handling mail from this list?

thanks,
