Yes it will remove something. As you quoted reply_regexp is also used
when replying.
Mutt will match $reply_regexp match against the subject and replace
everything matching (at the start of the string) with just "Re: "
Say you get a message with the subject "Aw: test" and reply to it. You
get with the default reply_regexp "Re: test".
