Add support for French Yahoo Mail 'Re :' prefix for email subjects

French Yahoo Mail prefixes the email subject with 'Re :' (note the extra blank before the semicolon). This a French translation for 'Re:'. Claws Mail does not support such prefix yet. So the email subject quickly becomes: 'Re: Re : Re: Re : Re: Re :'. This makes emails threads between Claws Mail and French Yahoo Mail quite difficult to read.

The attached patch add support for the 'Re :' prefix for email subjects. The patch was tested against an email sent with French Yahoo Mail. The test
email is unfortunately private and cannot be attached to this bug for others to
test the patch.
