#3553: Apply reply_regexp as often as possible
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: EdSchouten | Owner: mutt-dev
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.21
Keywords: reply_regexp |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
By default, we set reply_regexp as follows:
{{{
"^(re([\[0-9\]+])*|aw):[ \t]*"
}}}
Now if you receive an email that has a subject that starts with
something like "Re: Re: Re:", added by broken mail clients, Mutt will
only trim the first Re: tag when replying or showing it in the index.
There are a lot of people that work around this by setting reply_regexp
to something like this:
{{{
"^((re([\[0-9\]+])*|aw):[ \t]*)+"
}}}
In my opinion this behaviour should be the default. Alternatively, we
could solve this internally by changing the code to apply ReplyRegexp as
often as possible.
Attached is a patch that implements this.
