What a coincidence, I've been looking at this recently. I got bored
though, and decided it wasn't worth buggering about with.

Oh, that works? I had to use four backslashes, perhaps I did something
wrong. As for the replacement, I don't think you can with Exim. You'll
probably have to use a Perl script or something. That's what I started,
then decided it wasn't worth it. (Though I don't see the point of these
subject prefixes, it just wastes seven characters of the subject column
in my mailer's mailbox index list.)
