There are three common caxes:
User thinks he's being helpful and prepends his own tag.
Tag comes at start of Subject: or after some Re: or Fwd variation.
Tag occurs one or more times in Subject body due to hand edited subject (eg: Subject: XXX (was [tag] YYY)
#1 is ignorable.
#2 is slightly painful in the variations. eg Notes uses a "Re: #ddd" where the ddd's are a digital count of the number of replies made from Notes.
#3 needs to be checked for and the (potentially multiple) instances of the tag need to be stripped
I spent a while writing C code to do all of this (except for the Notes thing -- that's on the bug list), and can provide code samples as needed.
