Ya, that oughtta work too.  :)

Say, I just remembered one thing from cc:Mail -- it puts (or used to -- not

   Re: blah blah blah
   Re[2]: blah blah blah
   Re[3]: blah blah blah
   Re[4]: blah blah blah
   etc.

So something like

   m/^Re(?:\[\d+\]):\s*/i

might be even safer, since this would be for broken clients in the first
place, and cc:Mail is-was about as broken as one can get.  :-)
