% This macro makes use of subject_compare_hook to put multipart binary
% postings into the same thread.
% Contributed by Jurriaan Kalkman <thunder7@xs4all.nl>

% try to determine if two headers belong to the same multipart
% posting. Return 0 if they do, 1 if they don't
%
% we assume headers use a number in [] or in () to tell us what
% part of a multipart-posting this is.
%
% there are three possible header-types we like:
%
% 1) blablabla <part-number>
% 2) blablabla <file-number> blabla <part-number>
% 3) blablabla <part-number> blabla <file-number>
