Correct.
sed 's/^(Subject: .*)[ALUG] (.*)$/\1\2/;' which will *only* play with the Subject header.
Why not sed '/^Subject: /s/[ALUG]//' # instead? The leading regex means that the s command will only act on matching lines.
Purely because I pulled it out of my arse, and it was an improvement on the previous. Yours is probably quicker, overall, though.
