Frankly, I've never ever seen a subject start with " Re:" but I'll take your
word for it.
repeat with theMsg in (get current messages)
set theSubject to subject of theMsg
if theSubject starts with "Re:" or theSubject starts with " Re:" then
try
if theSubject starts with "Re:" then
set theSubject to text 4 thru -1 of theSubject
else if theSubject starts with " Re:" then
set theSubject to text 5 thru -1 of theSubject
end if
repeat while theSubject starts with " "
set theSubject to text 2 thru -1 of theSubject
end repeat
on error -- <no subject>
set theSubject to ""
end try
set subject of theMsg to theSubject
end if
end repeat
