JBIDE is just a jira key. More generally I'm just looking to show this 
list per key instead of full subject: http://screencast.com/t/SMEsoHBEjG

Thus it should probably be more like ([a-z]*-[0-9]*)

but i'm actually now realising what is wrong here - these should 
actually be shown as threads but they are not ;/

The mails has:
In-Reply-To:

References: 
<JIRA.12471495.1343746869000 at jira02.app.mwc.hst.phx2.redhat.com>

but does not seem to be honoured and everything is shown in a flat list 
;/  is this expected ?
