strip_was_regexp
----------------

   Usage: strip_was_regexp pattern [pattern] ...

   When changing the ``Subject:'' header line, some people follow a
   convention and include the old subject in brackets (e.g. ``new subject
   (was: old subject)''). You can use this command to strip the old
   subject automatically on followups and when creating scorefile entries
   based on the subject (so it will still match when the old subject is
   stripped). To do this, I recommend the setting " ?(was:.*)$".

   Note: This variable does not affect sorting. See strip_re_regexp
   for an explanation.
