How about something like:

<SubjectStripCode>
s/^(Re:\s*)?\[Crossword\]\s*/$1/;
</SubjectStripCode>

You can copy from the SUBJECREPLYRXP to be more robust on your match.

Another possible, and quick-n-dirty, solution is:

<SubjectStripCode>
s/\[Crossword\]\s*//;
</SubjectStripCode>

I.e.  Remove the anchor to the beginning of the line.

Note, you can have multiple s/// operations to handle more complicated
tasks.
