I'm looking for a regular expression to remove a variable length string from
a subject but retain the rest of it eg
incoming could be something like:

hasdf dsjfhadfa ...KNOWN STRING.....
167jhjkd KNOWN STRING ... 

and procmail should strip it to everything after and including KNOWN STRING.

This will do it provided `KNOWN_STRING ==> whatever' makes up the last part of
subject:

        :0hf
        * ^Subject:.*KNOWN_STRING
        |sed 's/\(^Subject: \)\(.*\)\(KNOWN_STRING.*$\)/\1\3/'
