I am using Tbird "115.11.0 (64-bit)" and, in checking, have found that 
square brackets are apparently not molested in this version of Tbird.

In checking in my Inbox, for email from a mailing list that uses mailing 
list name subject field prepending, I observed that the GnuCash mailing 
list uses such prepending, and the subject line
"Re: [GNC] Problem with New Account Creation"
is apparently not molested by Tbird.


Similarly, with this (the Debian users) list,
"Re: [solved] Re: No login with Debian 12 ssh client, ssh-rsa key, 
Debian 8 sshd"
and
"Re: [Solved]: What DE to replace GNOME with?"
appear to be unmolested by Tbird.

Whilst I regard Tbird after v102.x, as a pile of faecal matter, having 
been downgraded from v102.x (the higher the version number, the greater 
the degree of downgrading), the reported problem involving square 
brackets in the subject field, is not apparent on this system, making me 
wonder whether the reported problem, is an effect of either affected 
users' settings, or, desktop environments, or, themes.
