and be careful to keep the string '(PR#....)' as part of the subject *) That should really suffice.
Can you remind me of an example where it didn't?

*) Brian found it useful to move that string to the beginning of the subject line in those cases where that line has been relatively long -- since other people's mailers may break the line in two - which for the 'R-bugs' mail handler makes the 2nd part to be "not Subject" and leads to creation of another PR#.
Indeed, see yesterdays the duplicated reports #7100 and #7102. Where it would have been essential (at least for Roger's mail client) to move the PR#7100 in front of the subject line.
I don't know JitterBug. Is it possible to put the PR# in front of the subject line rather than appending it at the end in order to overcome this quite frequent problem with rather long subject lines?
