For the regexp challenged:

This rule hits a subject with an optional "Re:" or "Fw:" followed by one
word starting with at least one uppercase letter followed by at least
one lowercase letter followed by at least one uppercase letter.  It will
not match if there are multiple words or any non-alphabetic characters
in the subject.

Your subject "Re: MySQL" happened to hit that pattern, but I would
expect ham hits to be pretty rare.
