It seems that I am screwing up changing the email "Subject". 

I received the email w/ the subject "Re: SciPy-Dev Digest, Vol 171, Issue 42"

I have changed the email subject to "Re: [SciPy-Dev] email client is misconfigured - replies are breaking the threading".

Do I have the correct email subject? I am not sure whether or not to include "Re: " in the subject.
