I use Paul Close's 'makeindex.pl' tool to generate a TOPICS file containing
a summary of all subjects found in my mailing lists' archives.
This tool removes the "Re:" reply prefixes from the subject line while
trying to build a list of unique subjects. However, Paul's version does not
account for cc:Mail-style reply prefixes, such as "Re[3]:".
I have applied a small patch to correct this situation:
diff makeindex.pl makeindex2.pl
47c47
< 1 while ($subj =~ s/^Re2?:\s*//i); # trim all Re:'s
---
> 1 while ($subj =~ s/^Re(\[\d+\]|2?):\s*//i); # trim all Re:'s
Please let me know if you have any questions.
- Bill.
