Summary: ToUsenet: subject prefix stripping

Initial Comment:
For some inexplicable reason ToUsenet is trying to -add- the 
subject prefix.  Now this doesn't work generally anyway (consider 
a plain post - this won't do it).  Typically, the subject prefix is the list-
name, which just replicates information we already have (as we 
already know which newsgroup we are looking 
at).

Anyway, arguments aside, I've fixed up ToUsenet.py 
to go the other way and remove subjects.

(I would have 
made this an option, but my Python is non-existent).

I've added something to MM2.1b3 to selectively disable
subject munging for usenet gatewayed posts.

This patch is only relevant to MM2.0, and that version is in
critical bug fix phase only.  

MM2.1 does it differently, but I'm wondering if the subject
should not be added to news bound messages either?
