Re: Mangling subject lines in index

There's a awfully hacky mutt way and ugly other way(s).
- The mutt solution will abuse $reply_regexp to cover the tags.
- One other way would be to temper with the message itself, say
  delete the ml tags on delivery with procmail->formail.

Both of which are very inelegant i'm afraid. A proper solution could be
a patch that introduces a feature to weed out regexp based subject parts
in the index. If such a patch should already exist i'd appreciate if someone
dropped me a URL since i'm on such a list too and it simply hurts my
eyes too look at the subjects.
$display_filter helps in the pager but if i could get rid of it in the
index that would be really great. The list admin is not open to discuss
the subject munging of course. ;)
