General matching against headers with auto-discards probably will not
be supported out of the box in MM2.1.

No need to use Procmail to add this feature though! Simply add a
pipeline module that checks the listname, and for those lists that you
want to discard Re: messages, simply search Subject: headers for Re:.
Here's some untested code that might get you close. Note that you'll
have to add this module to the GLOBAL_PIPELINE, probably just before
Hold.py.
