reply: allow to override localized Re regexp in configuration
My corporate email server annoyingly adds an "[External] " prefix when delivering emails from outside my organization. I'd like to be able to automatically strip it from the subject line when replying to external emails. With this patch, I can achieve it by setting this line in my account configuration: subject-re-pattern = ^(\[External\] : )?((?i)((AW|RE|SV|VS|ODP|R): ?)+) Signed-off-by: jp39 <jp39@gmx.com> Acked-by: Moritz Poldrack <moritz@poldrack.dev>
