I'm trying to understand how the "Subject Mangling" works in the mailing list gateway.

What I want to do is, as is suggested in the control panel, remove a repeated element from the subject line. In this case, it's [Test6]. Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing, however, because I tried setting the "Replace mask" to [Test6] and setting nothing as "Replace with", but this had no effect.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Jeremy

Replacment is done using regular expression (PCRE), so things like [] need to be escaped for it to work properly.

So, do I use [ for left bracket and ] for right bracket?

Thanks for the guidance.

No, that's the htmlentity for [ and ] respectively, what you want is \[blah\]

Durn. I'm still doing something wrong.

Here's how I set it up

Replace mask: \[Test6\]

Although I noticed that once I saved it it was converted into /\[Test6\] .

"Replace with:" is blank because I want [Test6] deleted. However, with this set-up, [Test6] is still getting through.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

There was a bug in that code that is now fixed in the CVS.

\[TEST\] regex will result in replacment of [TEST] string.
