Sorry, but I am also heavily involved in spamfighting and on-line 
censorhsip getting like 100 messages a day. I ALREADY sort them
into different (generalized) folders, but need the modified Subject
lines so I know what's what.

I can understand this.  I've got as much as possible sorted into  
different mailboxes.  If a message gets to my Inbox, chances are  
they've never sent me a personal email again.

Why not use something like this:

:0
^TOprocmail(_at_)Informatik(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE
IN.procmail

or this if you are concerned about those BCCs to procmail when  
happenes whenever someone wants to prove why the above won't work  
;-)

:0
Resent-From: procmail(_at_)Informatik(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE
IN.procmail

I'm fighting SPAM as well, getting about 200+ messages a day from  
lists, etc. If you are sorting into mailboxes, then why not sort  
procmail message rather than changing subjects?

Sorry...I haven't thought of a hack for outgoing
messages.

How about 'cut'? ;-)
