My question is to only those who know, without looking, where things are in the sources. (I could gzcat trn.gz | tar xvf -, but for now it takes too much disk, but I will be forced to if no one knows the answer right off the top of his/her head.) You know how the subject-lines foo bar and Re: foo bar get treated (sorted by subject) as if those are the same two subjects, to thus appear together when sorted by subject -- that's the routine I want to look at. If someone knows which one, then I can xvf only that one file. If you can't remember within maybe 10 seconds, just skip this request. THANKS! David PS: *Why* I need to look at / maybe hack that routine: I'm on a group of related lists, and some msgs are sent to several of the lists, and then those people reply, and *that* subject-line has *that* person's group-name, in square-brackets, *within* the subject line: [A] foo bar Re: [A] foo bar [B] Re: foo bar [C] Re: foo bar [A] Re: [C] Re: foo bar ... you get the idea -- and I want to sort these by subject -- rather, a canonicalized subject, eg just "foo bar".
