IIRC, there is nothing like that.  You're talking about the initial
submission.  Although most replies will contain the original subject,
the current file-pr program only looks for either the "PR#" string or
the "CATEGORY/#:" string.  It does not look at the subject and query the
synopsis for matching PR's, although that would be a wonderful feature.
It also does not have any "thread logic" to tie emails together.

These are both very good features to request/code.
