How's this:
:0fhw
* ^\/Subject:[ ]*((re|fw|sv|betr|antw)( ?[[][0-9]+])?[-:>][ ]*)+

I like Perl too, but I would probably get strangled by my admin if I
routinely invoked it on every single mail message. If you can come up
with a sed script which ignores or appropriately quotes metacharacters
in the search pattern, more power to you. The right answer is probably
awk.
Hope this helps,
