Peter is absolutely right here, you may trust him:-)

What Peter's macro does is exactly "finding", not replacing. It
_finds_ the part of the subject that follows any kind of string of
the sort "Re: AW: RE: Re: AW: aw:" or similar. After it finds it,
it *stores* the result (that is, the significant part of the subject
string) as the register %SUBPATT="3".

Actually, I don't think you have. In my understanding, it should
be something like
%SUBJECT=""%SUBJECT="Re: %SUBPATT="3""
This ought to work, if it doesn't, it's a bug in TB and deserves a
formal bug report.
