[Mailman-Developers] pipermail: subjects with "Re[2]:" are not recognized as reply

[Heinrich Langos]

hi there.

seems like the "The Bat" mailer inserts a counter into the "Re:" subject line
so that "Re[2]:blah blah" or "Re[3]: more blah blah" show up.
these are not cought by Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py and therefore 
are not sorted into the thread that they belong to.

this is the line in Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py that seems to be 
responsible for it.
-------------------- 
# Subject lines preceded with 'Re:' 
REpat = re.compile( r"\s*RE\s*:\s*", re.IGNORECASE) 
-------------------- 

i don't know python but if the regex is like perl a change like 
this should do the job: 

----------------- 
REpat = re.compile( r"\s*RE\s*(\[\d*\])??\s*:\s*", re.IGNORECASE) 
----------------- 

as i said i don't have a clue about python and i don't want to test 
it right now since i have an active list and i don't want to miss any 
mails in the archive ... 
i would appreciate if somebody could check it out and tell me if it works. 

and tell me if i have to recompile those HyperArch.pyc and HyperArch.pyo files. 

cheers and thanx for that nice program.

ps: i run mailman 1.1 but i checked the CVS archive and the regex used
    for REpat seems to be the same.

pps: i submitted this as a bug in sourceforge as well .. so if you fix	
     it you can close it there too.

ppps: i am not subscribed to mailman-developers@python.org so please
      include me in CC:'s
