I've uploaded a new version of my script, "Strip [*] fr Subject(v2)". It removes prefixes from subject lines such as "[X-apps]" and "[EntourageTalk]" (I know, this list does not use them, for which I'm grateful, but some lists I am on do). If there are multiples of such bracketed phrases it will remove them all. (Caveat: It removes everything that appears in square brackets! Don't use it if there might be good information there.) It will also remove multiple "Re:" and "Fw:" prefixes, and replace them with a single one (the most recent, or leftmost, prefix). It will also remove leading and trailing spaces, and collapse multiple spaces to a single space. This could result in some mis-threading if the original subject contained extraneous spaces, but most of the time it is beneficial.
It is much more rigorous than the previous version, which only removed a single "Re:" prefix and a single bracketed phrase. My previous version, "Strip [*] from Subject", contained a subsequent call to another script, "Remove Yahoo Group Ads." That script can cause problems with some HTML messages. So, this version no longer calls the other script.
