[Bug $bug_id] should be added only if it isn't in the subject line already

[Björn Tillenius]

When someone replies to a bug notification, they usually generate a
subject such as: "Re: [Bug 42] ..." Now when we send out the
notification about the comment, we simply add another [Bug $id] prefix,
resulting in a subject like: "[Bug 42] Re: [Bug 42] ...".

We should add [Bug $bug_id] only if it isn't already in the subject,
just like mailman and other mailing list system do.

IMO all of Malone's email handling should be respecified by an expert in automatic email processing.

ISTM that the real problem here might be that we prefix all bugmail with
[Bug $bug.id]. So when I reply to a bug via email, its subject looks
like:

[Bug 46025] Re: [Bug 46025] Advanced Search needs a 'search by date
opened' option

instead of:

Re: [Bug 46025] Advanced Search needs a 'search by date opened' option

A fix is in the review queue.
