Since that's the only little snippet of code I wrote in hypermail (my claim
to hypermail fame, eh) I think I can safely answer this one - there are no
ranges or anything supported at the moment.
My solution to problems like these is always to filter the mail through perl
(or sed), before feeding it to hypermail. :-)
cat message \
| perl -npe 's/^Subject:\s+STRING\s+\d+\.\d+/Subject:/;' \
| hypermail ...
