Yes, but it will leave spaces:
set theSubject to subject of theMsg
if theSubject contains "Re:" then
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"Re: "} -- or ("Re:"}
set ls to text items of theSubject
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
set subject of theMsg to (ls as Unicode text)
end if
I recommend using {"Re: "}. It will remove the space at the end. I can't
believe you'll hit any "Re:" without a space. (If you do, this version will
miss it.)

PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using -
**2004**, X or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions
otherwise.
