I don't know how PMC works but I guess that you can also keep the whole
subject while skipping the rest in the sorting:

my $foo = sub { my ($foo) = @_; $foo =~ s/\[ruby-talk:\d+\]//;
sort { $foo->($a) cmp $foo->($b) } @emails;

This should be ok until a few 1000's of emails, after which you may try a
Schwartzian transform, that I would hope PMC would use anyway.

PS: Anyone wants to write a Ruby Mail Client?
