For example: New question [WAS Old topic]

Are square brackets intentional here? E.g. thunderbird strips "(was:" subject part from response subject. Perhaps Gnus may treat square brackets as well. I have no idea concerning other mailers.

Sorry for violating the rule. Curious users may test if their MUAs recognize "(was: ...)" in the subject and remove old part.
