I use this scripts to filter the subject line of MLs that insert
[mlname] into the subject:

|#!/bin/sh
|offender=`echo $1 | sed -e 's/\[/\\\[/; s/\]/\\\]/'`
|exec sed -e "/^Subject:/ { s/${offender}//; s/Subject:[[:blank:]]*/Subject: /; s/Subject: \(Re:[[:blank:]]*\)\+/Subject: Re: /; }"

Sample procmail recipe:
|:0
|* ^List-Id.*mplayer-users
|{
|	:0 fw
|	|filtersubject "[MPlayer-users]"
|
|	:0:
|	mplayer-users
|}

This has the nice property of also getting rid of multiple Re:'s in the
beginning of the Subject line, which I introduced because of a bug of
most list managing programs:
The original poster writes a message with the subject "Foo"
This gets distributed as "[bar] Foo".
I reply with "Re: Foo", distributed as "[bar] Re: Foo".
Someone else replies "Re: [bar] Re: Foo", not changed by distribution.
Yuck.
