When replying to mails with subject like: Subject: [LIVRAISON-DC2] Consigne livraison the subject for the replying mails becomes: Subject: Re: Consigne livraison Given my current reply_regexp, I should get: Subject: Re: [LIVRAISON-DC2] Consigne livraison I don't with the gentoo mutt, either with mutt-1.5.21-r12 or mutt-1.5.22-r1 . So I poke around it and totally deactivated the gentoo patch: 11-change_subject.patch Since then, I do get the subject line I'm waiting for. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch mutt 2. find a mail with square brackets (maybe at the beginning) 3. try to reply, you'll get the wrong subject Actual Results: Subject: Re: Consigne livraison Expected Results: Subject: Re: [LIVRAISON-DC2] Consigne livraison Tried with the same .muttrc file on a vanilla debian wheezy, problem does NOT appear.

can you post the relevant bits from your muttrc?
Sure, it isn't a problem: rm .muttrc and test: I tried with the defaults, and also with set reply_regexp="" It's the same. the subjectrx stuff isn't in use (I didn't even know it existed), so it should be in the undef state.
I find this really strange. Just to check, if you run unsubjectrx * does that make it work like you expect? Here, even if subjectrx is in effect, it doesn't affect the subject when replying.
