[OT] Outlook Macro for cleaning Yahoo Groups subject lines

I've been meaning to post this to you guys for a while.  Its a simple
outlook macro for fixing the subject lines of mail sent to UKHA, that I
wrote ages ago.  Hopefully someone else may find it of use.

Background
----------
I use Outlook 2000 to read these emails, and use its grouping
functionality to show messages per thread (Right click on header and
choose 'Group By Box', then drag the subject header to the box). However
the subject lines often get poluted with various bits of text like
'Re[2]:', 'Re[4]:', etc. This upsets Outlooks grouping and means threads
get split into several smaller threads.

This is a simple script that takes messages located in Inbox/Lists,
modifies the subject line and moves the fixed messages to
Inbox/Lists/Home Auto. You'll probably need to modify it slighly for
your own purposes but should work out of the box.
