Just extend your reply_regex to include "fwd".  Here's mine:

set reply_regexp="^((\
\\[wvware - help\\]|\
\\[[a-z][a-z0-9 :-]+[0-9]\\]|\
(\\(fwd\\))|\
(re(\\[[0-9]\\])?|aw|fw|fwd|\\?\\?|ç­.å¤.|´ð¸´):\
)[ \t]*)+"

This is probably more than you need, but it is the only 
works-for-sure example I have.  Those odd characters at the end of 
the next-to-last line account for replies from China.

HTH,
Gary
