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.

I am interested in this too. Out of curiosity, I have just tried with
Google to look for "procmail fixing re: subject" and only found this

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Procmail_configuration#Fix_incorrect_Subject_Lines

so if anybody could post other URLs to other variations or better search 
strings it could be
useful.

Personally, however, I have one question about your procmail-only
solution. Mailer in other languages use other prefixes, like "R:" or
"AW:", so I often receive subjects with *any* sequence of all these,
depending on the thread:

Subject: Re: Aw: R: Re: Re: Aw: Aw: R: ......

How do we generalize your recipe to handle this?

 :0
 * $ ^Subject:([$WS]*RE([(][0-9]+[)])*:(.*\<)?\/[^R0-9$WS:].*
 | formail -I "Subject: RE: $MATCH"

Would it be enough to replace the RE part with something like
(RE|AW|R) or what else?

TIA,
        Marco
