It's not arbitrary. It's derived entirely from the header sorting algorithm used by IMAP THREAD (which strips away all mailing list tags, Re:-s (fwd)-s, and similar crap from the subject line, before sorting).As a matter of abstract principle, I'm a little dubious about the idea of an MUA arbitrarily munging subject lines outside of the user's control.
... which, again, is used for subject line sort in sqwebmail.
There's enough precedent to deem [foo], Re:, (fwd), and other crap as completely content-free fluff that needs to be get rid of, before doing anything with the subject line.
The recipient can immediately tell if the reply was sent privately, or to the list.Also, what's the advantage of removing the bracketed text even when replying to mailing lists? It's been a long, long time since I ran into an MLM which was prone to stacking up the list tags.
