On the other hand, generalizing it would be pretty nice, too.  Not only
would it be useful for 'sort', but for 'scan' as well, and even things
like 'repl' - using the regexp to trim off so we can re-sane the messy
'Re: FW: [list] re:' noise we see now.  Fortunately for scan and repl,
we can do all the heavy lifting in one place, in a filter %regexp of some
sort.

%regexp{pcre,string} - so we'd have:

Subject: Re: 
%regexp{"([Rr][Ee]:|[Ff][Ww][Dd]*:|\[[a-zA-Z-]\])*\(\1\)",%{subject}}

Or something like that....
