changing the reply_regexp did somewhat remedy the problem, but not
fully. i have added the annoying strings to the regexp:
reply_regexp="^(re([[0-9]+])*|aw|ad|sv):[ ?]*"
this works perfectly when someone replies to a mail the very first time
(subject reads e.g. "Ad: <subject>"). when replying that mail, mutt
correctly changed the subject to "Re: <subject>".
the problem occurs when the person with the malfunctioning mailreader
replies again. the subject will than be "Ad: Re: <subject>", which will
be changed to "Re: Re: <subject>" by mutt.
it is the subject expansion i would like to get rid of.
i would be much more happy if mutt recognized the strings defined by
reply_regexp to be *valid* reply strings, and thus not try to add
"Re:" (or change it to "Re:").
is this possible is a simple way, or does it require some clever hooks?
