David&David (you know who you are ;) really got me going now.
The following actually works. It only removes the "(linux-br)"
part and leaves preceding "Re: " intact. If you don't want that
(remove preceding Re's), the solution is even easier.
Left as an exercise to the reader ...
:0
* ^Subject:.*\(linux-br\)
* ^Subject: \/[^(]*
{
prebr="$MATCH"
:0fh
# that's space and tab in the square brackets
* ^Subject:.*\(linux-br\) \/[^ ]*
| formail -b -I"Subject: $prebr$MATCH"
}
Just another bored procmailer ...
Sorry for the off-topic post.
