Using a browser and the web version of gmail you have to click the drop down in the top left of the reply window and click Edit Subject, at which point you get a pop-up window that gives you the entire digest to edit as you see fit.
I have to admit deleting the unwanted text is a PITA, but courteous to the readers and to the archive storage requirements. Then there are the various clients on handhelds and tablets that very likely have nothing in common on the way to do it.
