I'm pretty sure the idea of fixing "RE: RE: RE(3)" in
Subjects has been discussed a few times in the past.
The archives could be consulted.
In any case, though, someone wrote a couple of weeks ago about it
and was not answered. Here's a procmail-only answer that
doesn't need to recurse:
SPACE = ' '
TAB = ' '
WS = $SPACE$TAB
:0
* $ ^Subject:([$WS]*RE([(][0-9]+[)])*:(.*\<)?\/[^R0-9$WS:].*
| formail -I "Subject: RE: $MATCH"
The only thing I can see it doesn't quite do right is,
if there is a colon or series of colons between RE:'s
(without other letters) or at the beginning of the first
non-"RE(#):", it cuts them out too.
Basically, this stops cutting at the first non-"RE(#):",
then prepends one "RE: ".
