Strange, I get only the original subject (with RE:, but that's removed
in the registry by gnus-simplify-subject).  I don't know why the subject
is not retrieved properly from the second e-mail.  You must have called
message-fetch-field in a strange context.

In any case, note that the subject was extracted properly for the second
message since the registry entry has the right subject.  So from now on,
messages with that subject should go to "INBOX/Principia/IS_Issues".

Can you grep the registry file for "Build Issue with XRT Licensing" and
see if it shows up in any other groups?  That would be a reason why the
followup didn't go to the right place.

I'll do the logging improvements we discussed earlier.  Sorry for the
delay, but I've been too busy with a new baby :)

Ted
