Oh, Novell Groupwise 4.1 is the culprit all right.  I really *like*
the X-Mailer header.

Novell Groupwise is so lame it readily stacks the -Reply tag as well:

X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 4.1
Subject:  Re: [ hwg-main ] Web site -Reply -Reply


If this Subject: were instead:
Subject: Re: Re[2]: Re^3: [hwg-main] Web site -Reply -Reply -Reply

What would the harm be in Gnus rewriting the header as:
Subject: Re: [hwg-main] Web site

on followup?  Think of it as a bit of unpaid janitorial work to clean
the internet up after bad software ... :-)

I suppose one could always write a message-header-setup-hook or a
message-header-hook to do this.
