I use lists like this, too.  I don't like them.  :)

Here's my reply_regexp:

  set reply_regexp="^(((re(\\[[0-9]+\\])?|fwd):|\\[[a-z0-9-]+\\])[ \t]+)+"

This looks for patterns like "Re:", "Re[2]:", "Fwd:", and "[tag-name]",
in any order, and as many times as they appear, at the beginning of a
subject.  So a subject like this:

    Subject: Fwd: Re[3]: [Mailing-List] Re: What the heck?

will be treated as the subject "What the heck?"  And if I reply to it,
my reply looks like this:

    Subject: Re: What the heck?

I like it that way.  :)
