Here is an excerpt of my rmail summary buffer. The point is on
message number 7840.

 7838D  3-Feb      nathanfritz@gmail.com  [95] { summit } [Summit] Prepaid cellphones
 7839D  3-Feb          remko@el-tramo.be  [95] { summit } Re: [Summit] Prepaid cellphones

Doing C-M-t RET -i.e. choosing default subject as the topic
returns: No previous message. More generally,
rmail-summary-by-topic is rather unreliable since less than 50%
of the time it will return correct results. I do not see how to
debug that.

I will try with edebug-defun on every part of the
rmail-summary-by-topic function.
