Groups is one example that doesn't collapse, and always prepends the
headers in front of Re:. Seems like all the Python lists do the
collapsing (I wonder why! :) ) Other lists don't do prepending (I think
the RFCs recommend not prepending in Subject, actually), of the others
I'm subscribed to, that prepend, some collapse and some don't.
You seem to be forgetting the case where the encoded subject already
contains the prefix, or do you not care if the subject just continues
to grow with Re:'s and repeated prefixes?
Mark,
Please read the last two paragraphs of my message you replied to, two or
three more times. Here they are again for reference.
And don't forget removing the prior prepended text before adding the
new prepended text.
Actually, as long as the prepended text is ASCII, all that work can be
done on the encoded value. When it is not ASCII, it may still be
separated and recognizable. Still that logic is more complex than
decoding, handling as Unicode, and encoding.... when it works. Just
pointing out that there is more than one way to do things...
