[users@httpd] Procmail recipe to un-mangle the Subject

["James C. McMaster (Jim)" <mc...@tatanka.stortek.com>]

If any of you have access to procmail and want to remove the 
"[UselessListIdentifier]" from mailing-lists, here is a procmail recipe you 
can include to accomplish that:

########################################################################
#Get rid of header munging
FRONT=

:0
* ^Subject:\/([^[])+
{ FRONT=$MATCH }

:0fhW
* ^Subject:.*(\[[^]]+\]+)\/.*
| formail -I"Subject:$FRONT$MATCH"

As written, it removes the first occurrence of "[anything]" from all Subject: 
headers.  You can place it anywhere before mailing-list mail gets delivered.
