There is message-subject-re-regexp.

Yes. That is annoying. I have written a custom Subject cleaner for my
replies:
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'my-message-subject-clean)
(defun my-message-subject-clean ()
;; Delete first \( ... \) group from Subject header.
(my-with-message-headers
(let ((case-fold-search nil))
(dolist (re '(".*\\(\\[ ?SPAM\\(?: UNSURE\\|\\?\\)? ?\\] \\(?:Re: \\)?\\)"
".*\\(\\(?:Re: \\)* *\\[External\\][ :]*\\(?:Re: *\\)*\\)"))
(goto-char (point-min))
(when (re-search-forward (concat "^Subject: " re) nil t)
(delete-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1)))))))
(defmacro my-with-message-headers (&rest body)
(declare (indent 0))
`(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(save-match-data
(message-narrow-to-head)
,@body))))
