Why does gmane remove it?  It's clearly a part of the subject, if you look
at the original headers.   Is filtering with tokens in square brackets a
standardized or recommended practice?  If so, I'll submit a bug report to
the gmail team, and that will be the end of it.

However, gmane is the only client I'm aware of that handles it in a special
way (based on the gmail web interface and Mozilla Thunderbird and Apple Mail
tools).  If the action it takes is to strip it, then why bother in the first
place?
