    For example: New question [WAS Old topic]

    Are square brackets intentional here? E.g. thunderbird strips "(was:"
    subject part from response subject.

    This is true. I (on Thunderbird 115) had to restore the subject line after Thunderbird modified it. Do you know of a plugin or weird setting to make
    it stop doing that? Web searches were fruitless.
