It allows one to set a per-folder regexp that will be sought and destroyed from message titles (it is not actually destroyed on disk, but rather hidden in the UI). For example, in your "Mailing Lists/Evolution" folder you could have the regexp: /\[Evolution\] */ Which would remove the string "[Evolution]" followed by none or more spaces from any subject lines, but leave things like "[off-topic]" or "[patch]" alone. A more complex example: /\[Evolution(-devel)?\] */ Would match "[Evolution]" followed by possible spaces, and also "[Evolution-devel]" followed by possible spaces. Anyway, that is how things work in Sylpheed Claws. A better behaviour would be along the lines of a sed "s/pattern/replacement/" regexp (where replacement could be "" for a Sylpheed style behaviour). It would also be nice if this could be applied to From addresses, e.g.: s/Ian Inkster/Dad/ Also for reference, in Sylpheed when you reply, the 'Re: ' is prepended to the original subject, not the mangled one.
