For those using 'procmail' to filter your e-mail, I've created a recipe that
will remove the subject line tokens from the messages as they are received. 
It requires 'formail' (which comes with procmail) and 'perl'.  (The Perl
part could probably be replaced with a 'sed' command, but Perl, in addition
to destroying many of my C programming skills, has obliterated my 'sed'
skills.  If someone can supply the 'sed' magic, let me know; it would likely
be more efficient than the Perl snippet.)

  NEWSUBJ = `formail -xSubject | perl -p -e 's/\[WEB4LIB:\d+\]\s+//;'`

  |formail -I"Subject: ${NEWSUBJ}"

 ## Set 'mail/web4lib.mbox' below to the location where you want your
 ## Web4Lib mail saved (relative to your home directory).  Or just remove
 ## the next two lines if you want your Web4Lib to appear in your INBOX.
