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.
