Personally I use the following procmail rule to wash subject fields
before gnus even sees them:
:0 fhw
| /usr/bin/perl -ne "s/^(Subject:)\s+(S[Vv]:\s*|AW:\s*|Ad:\s*|R[eE](\(\d+\))?:\s*)+/\1 Re: /g;s/^(Subject:)\s+(=\?((iso|ISO)-8859-1|us-ascii)\?Q\?)((S[Vv]|AW|Ad|R[eE](\(\d+\))?)(:|=3[Aa])_*)+/\1 \2Re:_/g; s/\042\'([^\']*)\'\042/\042\1\042/g ; print"
(As well as AW, this takes care of "Ad", "SV" and "RE", and the
"galloping Re: SV: Re: syndrome...)
Unfortunately this doesn't help with USENET messages. :-/
I'm also unable to cover BASE64 encoded subjects (Oh yes! Exchange
and Outlook variants cover them all...).
