        And what are you going to do with:

TPS20001-34987 [TEX1] How do [TEX1] change [TEX1] ....

        As Sean said before, sed(1) could be good answer:

* ! MATCH ?? ^^\[TEX\]
| sed '/^Subject:/{s/\[TEX1\]//g;s/  */ /g;}'

        perl is a little bit havy.

        I understand that you do not want to chage subject that
        started with "[TEX1]", does it?
