As a _HACK_ you could extend your reply_regexp to include
"Case [0-9]+ - "
and toggle between default/ normal use of this var and
this hack depending on whether you just view it or actually want
to reply.
I.e. you can define a "r"eply macro to "set to normal", <reply>,
"set to thread cases". Respectively for group and list reply.
