This is something I have not heard of? No email system I have been  
using works like that (MS Windows Office Outlook, Outlook Express,  
Eudora, MS Entourage for Mac, Apple Mail, online web browser  
dependent G-Mail, online web browser PHP system Squirrel). When  
sorting according to Subject (equalling "thread") the function is  
based on alphabetical order, leaving out those short abbreviations  
typically added by the email client, as "Re", "RE", "FW" etc.

Ouch... getting that mustn't be fun. I would be interested in hearing  
about email systems that supports such "nb threading code"?
