Dear Claus,

  I have a patch that teaches Pine/Alpine to remove these strings 
automatically. The patch is called "Define your own rules...", and what 
you need to do is set up the "reply-subject-rules" variable. This is the 
text from the help for that option:

Another example where you may want to use this rule is when you correspond
with people that change the reply string from "Re:" to "AW:" or "Sv:". In
this case a rule like
         _SUBJECT_ >> {Sv: ;AW: } => _SUBJECT_ := _TRIM_{Sv: ;AW: }

would eliminate undesired strings in replies.

I hope this helps.
