You are lucky, I get 50 to 100 spams per day. Gmail does have pretty good filtering, but I do have occasional false negatives and even some false positives. Because of the false positives I do regularly check the Spam folder. > Incidentally, someone please have a look at > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_email_subject_abbreviations > section "Iteration of Reply" and point out any errors.

Some broken clients don't recognize the first "Re:" (due to case?) and add additional ones. Your messages are the very few I have ever seen to also add a number, which is why I just assumed either your client is broken or it is due to your complicated e-mail setup, but it seems to me that at least mutt knows how to deal with it: ,----[ muttrc(5) ] | | reply_regexp | Type: regular expression | Default: “^(re([\[0-9\]+])*|aw):[ \t]*” | | A regular expression used to recognize reply messages when | threading and replying. The default value corresponds to the | English ”Re:” | and the German ”Aw:”. | `---- However, I have no RFC to cite, this is just what I have seen on mailing lists and private mail.
