registry subject tracking problem

[Jake Colman <colman@ppllc.com>]

I've referenced this problem already elsewhere but it was buried inside
of a much larger thread.  I'm raising it again in its own thread and
providing more data.

I just upgraded to No Gnus 0.7 so I am using the latest code as of this
week.

I sent an email from a folder with gcc-self specified.  I received a
reply to that email but the reply was not filed correctly by the
registry.  Ted has already help me determine that the emails that I am
getting are missing the typical headers used by the registry (they are
coming through an old version MS Exchange Server which is probably
stripping the headers) which is why I need to work harder to get the
message traced properly. So I have turned on the registry's extra
tracking by subject.

The initial message's headers are as follows:

===========================================================

  To: is@ppllc.com
  Subject: Build Issue with XRT Licensing
  X-Attribution: Jake
  X-URL: http://www.ppllc.com
  X-Draft-From: ("nnimap+hamilton:INBOX/Principia/IS_Issues" "")
  From: Jake Colman <colman@ppllc.com>
  Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:35:20 -0500
  Message-ID: <76zluc8sqv.fsf@dev-d01.ppllc.com>
  User-Agent: Gnus/5.1008 (Gnus v5.10.8) XEmacs/21.4.17 (usg-unix-v)
  MIME-Version: 1.0
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

===========================================================

I find the following entry is .gnus.registry.eld:

("<76zluc8sqv.fsf@dev-d01.ppllc.com>" ((mtime 18347 34824 532917) (sender . "Jake Colman <colman@ppllc.com>") (subject . "Build Issue with XRT Licensing")) "INBOX/Principia/IS_Issues")

The email sent in reply, has the following headers:

===========================================================

  Received: by hamilton.ppllc.com 
	  id <01C86A60.3AF26D30@hamilton.ppllc.com>; Fri, 8 Feb 2008 09:38:11 -0500
  Message-ID: <0B72769B5EA61E45BFDAB9B849923FE703359C09@hamilton.ppllc.com>
  From: Mark Vosteen <vosteen@ppllc.com>
  To: Jacob Colman <colman@ppllc.com>
  Subject: RE: Build Issue with XRT Licensing

  MIME-Version: 1.0
  Content-Type: text/plain

===========================================================

I manually moved this email where I had hoped the registry would file
it.  I now find the following entry in .gnus.registry.eld (which,
incidentally, appears earlier in the list than the first one):

("<0B72769B5EA61E45BFDAB9B849923FE703359C09@hamilton.ppllc.com>" ((mtime 18348 30274 550938) (sender . "Mark Vosteen <vosteen@ppllc.com>") (subject . "Build Issue with XRT Licensing")) "INBOX/Principia/IS_Issues")

The problem is that if I execute (message-fetch-field "subject") on
these two messages, I get different results.

For the first message I get:

"Build Issue with XRT Licensing"

For the second message I get:

"RE: Build Issue with XRT Licensing, Build Issue with XRT Licensing"

Would this discrepency explain why my message did not get filed
correctly?

TIA!

...Jake
