Hi,

thank you the regexp, but mutt still does not show threads. I'm
puzzled.

An example of the subjects, which should be recognized as a thread is
following:

Subject: [ifc-ml:2583] Re: Illegal circuit data for smincut
Subject: [ifc-ml:2584] Re: Illegal circuit data for smincut

The sorting method is "thread", and there is of course
"strict_threads" unset.

Somehow the regexp still does not work.

Any idea?
