Don't just remove "two-chars:" on reply

Description

I think it is not nice that YAM removes any "two chars and colon"-strings on reply from the subject. E.g. a subject starting with "OT:" should keep this string. Or try to send a MAC-Addresse like "AB:CE:1A:0F" and see what's left of it. :-)

I agree, YAM should only remove RE: and AW: as IIRC it
originally did when Marcel last touched this unless there's
a really good reason to do otherwise.

Sorry, but you recall incorrectly. According to the relevant code passages YAM was always stripping all kind of "two chars and colon" strings from a subject line in case of a reply. However, I do agree as well that this should be changed and YAM should better fall back to check for common abbreviations like 'Re:', 'AW:', 'Fwd:' and so on. Unfortuantely there isn't any standard or RFC describing a common way how to do that. In addition YAM seems to also strip multiple mailing list seperators like [yam] from a subject line. This might be also a critical job...
