<h2><a name="description">Description</a></h2>

<p>SUBJECTARTICLERXP defines the Perl regular expression matching
leading articles (eg: "the", "a", "an") in subject text.
</p>

<p>SUBJECTARTICLERXP is used by MHonArc for sorting.
The regex defined is used in <b><tt>s///</tt></b>
operation with the case-insensitive modifier.
The regex should be anchored to the beginning of the string.
</p>

<p>The SUBJECTARTICLERXP is normally changed to suit a particular
locale.
