hi there.

seems like the "The Bat" mailer inserts a counter into the "Re:" subject line so that "Re[2]:blah blah" or "Re[3]: more blah blah" show up. these are not cought by Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py and therefore are not sorted into the thread that they belong to.

this is the line in Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py that seems to be responsible for it.

# Subject lines preceded with 'Re:' REpat = re.compile( r"\s*RE\s*:\s*", re.IGNORECASE)

i don't know python but if the regex is like perl a change like this should do the job:

REpat = re.compile( r"\s*RE\s*(\[\d*\])??\s*:\s*", re.IGNORECASE)

as i said i don't have a clue about python and i don't want to test it right now since i have an active list and i don't want to miss any mails in the archive ... i would appreciate if somebody could check it out and tell me if it works.

and tell me if i have to recompile those HyperArch.pyc and HyperArch.pyo files.

cheers and thanx for that nice program.

ps: i run mailman 1.1 but i checked the CVS archive and the regex used for REpat seems to be the same.

pps: i submitted this as a bug in sourceforge as well .. so if you fix it you can close it there too.

ppps: i am not subscribed to mailman-developers@python.org so please include me in CC:'s
