Issue Summary
The mailing list I am integrating with listhandler has subjects that look like:
[MailingListName:NumberOfPost] topic
so I want listhandler to strip the name and the number of the post. Since the number is continually changing, I can't explicitly tell listhandler what to strip in the "Strip title:" field. What I feel like I need is some sort of wildcard support i.e. I could input
[MailingListName:%d]
as my strip title
but that doesn't work. Is there any support for this sort of thing and do you have any suggestions other than to reconfigure my mailing list to not include the number of the post?
Thanks,
-John

#1
At the moment indeed not possible via listhandler. Only if stripping some text from the subject gets regular expression support. Therefore I'll set this as a feature request.
@ whyameye, I realize you posted this a long time ago, it would be great if you could add information here of how you solved your problem. If not solved you could investigate other modules that can act on subjects via e.g. actions.
You could also examine the options that the module "Mailhandler" would give. And if you can code it would be great if you could create a patch for use to review.
