Description Hal V. Engel 2009-08-08 18:33:47 UTC
Version:           1.11.4 (using KDE 4.2.4)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Older versions of kmail ignored Re: and Fw: at the beginning of the subject when sorting.  New versions no longer do this.  As a result when sorting by subject the original message in a thread is separated from all of the replies. 

For example what I expect to see is:

<other subjects>
my subject
Fw: my subject
Re: my subject
Re: my subject
<still other subjects> 

Instead what it is doing is:

<Fw: other subjects>
Fw: my subject
<Fw: still other subjects> 
<other subjects>
my subject
<still other subjects> 
<Re: other subjects>
Re: my subject
Re: my subject
<Re:still other subjects> 

Since 

my subject
Fw: my subject
Re: my subject

all have the same logical subject and the prefixes Re: and Fw: are really not a logical part of the subject these prefixes should not be part of the sort order and should be ignored for sorting.
