I am trying to add additional information to the subject of new entries:

Subst subject = $subject [INCIDENT $message id]
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject
Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject

However, the new entry subject looks like:

this is my subject [INCIDENT this is my subject [INCIDENT $message id]

I'm not sure if there's a problem with the substitution or if this is just not allowed (I'm having LISP flashbacks).

By the way, if I use "Subst on reply subject" I get the behavior I would like but the original entry in the thread doesn't contain the appended data:

Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject [INCIDENT $message id]

Any help would be appreciated.

The problem here is that the subsitution is executed before the entry is committed to the database. The message ID is assigned however only in the commit. So at the time of the substitution, the $message id is not available. When you do the reply however, the message id is valid and subsituted correctly. I see at this moment no clever solution for your problem (maybe "Subst on edit", but then you have to edit/submit each message manually once).
