Some ``text manglers masquerading as newsreaders'', as the
Gnus manual so eloquently puts it, is even worse than the
existing fuzzy matching can cope with.

I've set the variables:

 gnus-simplify-subject-functions '(gnus-simplify-subject-fuzzy)
 gnus-summary-gather-subject-limit 'fuzzy
 gnus-simplify-ignored-prefixes ".*\\[.*@.*\\]"

to help gather subjects that belong together under the same
thread. This helps a lot (the last one is to get replies to
messages forwarded by gnus to thread properly), but one
problem remains.

Some MUAs insert a space in the subject line if the subject
is too long (65 characters in one case). How can I solve
this? Here is an example of four subject lines that all
should be gathered in the same thread:

About your recent suggestion to improve life
Re: About your recent suggestion to improve life
Re: [A person <a.person@hisdomain.org>] About your recent suggestion to improve life
Re: [A person <a.person@hisdomain.org>] About your recent suggest ion to improve life

Any ideas?
