Just for the record: m-s-r-r is only used in message-mode.

nnmail-remove-list-identifiers use
"^Subject: +\\(Re: +\\)?\\(" regexp " *\\)"
gnus-summary-remove-list-identifiers use
(concat "\\(\\(\\(Re: +\\)?\\(" regexp " *\\)\\)+\\(Re: +\\)?\\)")

Ouch.

IMHO there should be a gnus-re-regexp that then is used as the default
for m-s-r-r and used by the xxx-remove-list-id functions.

(I know I should implement this myself, but I haven't done the
bureaucracy to be able to do that, but I guess the number of todos
pile up until I get it done, or something...)

OK, I haven't done such testing - I just saw what happened in the
summary and then started to read the removal functions. It maybe is so
that it is the thread gathering functions or the display functions
that is the culprit and not the remove-function? I.e. the error might
be elsewhere.
