What to do with trailing "(was: <old subject>)" in subject lines.

If nil, leave the subject unchanged. If it is the symbol ask, query the user what to do. In this case, the subject is matched against message-subject-trailing-was-ask-regexp. If message-subject-trailing-was-query is t, always strip the trailing old subject. In this case, message-subject-trailing-was-regexp is used.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.1.
