This script removes broken subject line from mails in maildir:

#!/bin/bash

find . | while read a b
do
        if grep -q '^Subject: \[gentoo-user\]$' $a
        then
            sed '/^Subject: \[gentoo-user\]$/d' $a > xxx
            touch -r $a xxx
            mv xxx $a
        fi
done



For MBOX this line should be enough (not tested):

sed -i '/^Subject: \[gentoo-user\]$/d' mbox-file
