<snip> I can imagine it would :-). Such facilities end up with us all
becoming far too tolerant of ills we can no longer see. It's very
reason we don't use [tag] syntax on our lists.

I stress that this only applies to replies you create, not to any
incoming messages. Here's what I use:

%subject="Re:%setpattregexp='(?i)\A\:?(\s*\[.*\])%-
?(\s*(re|ha|rcpt|fwd|fw)(\[\d*\])?:\s*)*(.*)'%-
%RegExpBlindMatch='%OSubj'%SubPatt='5'"
