Ideally, since procmail's regexp matching is more powerful than sed's and
we're only going to end up using formail anyway to replace the subject line,

# Filter "Re[5]:"/"Re^3:" and the like out of Subject:

* ^Subject: *((Re: ?)*Re[[^]|Re: *Re:)

This "Re^2:" stuff is new to me, but my perl subject fixer was easily
fixed to deal with it. If you *really* need multiline subjects to be
fixed, ask me how this can be modified to do that.
