No, but arguably BFAV *should* be smarter about this.

That is, if a new thread has subject-line:

	[BUG] Redraw bug inside SystemBrowser panes

then follow-ons posted with subject-lines like:

	RE: [BUG] Redraw bug inside SystemBrowser panes
	AW: [BUG] Redraw bug inside SystemBrowser panes
	Re: [BUG] Redraw bug inside SystemBrowser panes
	Jibu:  [BUG] Redraw bug inside SystemBrowser panes
         Re2: [BUG] Redraw bug inside SystemBrowser panes

*should* all be recognized by BFAV as belonging to the same thread.

Surely???

Or am I missing something obvious?  The code to make BFAV be 
prefix-friendly (i.e. ignore all characters in subject lines before 
the first "[") could be written by any reader of this list in five 
minutes.  What's the downside?

Cheers,
