I hope none of this happens -- Eudora and other email programs won't
"sort by subject" properly if any prefix exists. Example:

Hi There!

Anybody There?

re: Hi There!

re: Anybody There?

<italic>sorted by subject:

</italic>

Anybody There?

re: Anybody There?

Hi There!

re: Hi There!

<italic>versus:

</italic>

[Vanagon] Hi There!

[Vanagon] Anybody There?

[Vanagon] re: Hi There!

[Vanagon] re: Anybody There?

<italic>sorted by subject:

</italic>

[Vanagon] Anybody There?

[Vanagon] Hi There!

[Vanagon] re: Hi There!

[Vanagon] re: Anybody There?

As you can see the lists no longer sort properly.
