It appears to work as you hope.  I'm personally set to SUBJ on this
list.  As I'm composing this reply my MUA shows 'RE: [LSTOWN-L] Subject
stripping of SUBJECTHDR replies' in the Subject: line.  What do you see
in your Subject: line right now?

I did q quick search of the online archives of posts I made in the month
of November (only 4...must've been a slow month :) and none of the
Subject: lines had [LSTOWN-L] in them.
