| I want to repair this damage done to Subject lines, notably in mailing
| lists which have standard tokens in them.
[A small digression:]
At least one MUA I know uses a number in parantheses to indicate the
"depth", like this:
Subject: Re(4): Eliminating repetitious "Re: Re: Re: ..."
Fun experiment: Send a mail with a subject like this:
Subject: Re(2147483647): Foo bar
When a person with the standardly challenged MUA replies, the subject
will be:
Subject: Re(-2147483648): Foo bar
Look, mommy! A signed 32-bit thingie!
