Hello,

Mailman 2.1.6b1 breaks this algorithm, specifically this step:
| Only two things need to be done with the subject strings: ask whether | they begin with `Re:', and compare the non-Re parts for equivalence. | So you can get away with interning or otherwise hashing these, too.
... by moving the tag to the front, which makes the Subject not start with "Re: " anymore (or, more precisely, Mutt's $reply_regexp variable).
OK, it's not pipermail problem but MUA's. Pipermail never rely ambiguous "Re:" threading. (That was why I was always annoyed by "no subject" or "question" message threaded under very old messages in my Netscape 7.)

I think I can add some code before the 2.1.6 final release to exchage Re: and prefix order for the subject prefix without numbering. (Yes, we now have a nice feature to add numbering in the subject prefix.)
