This is a misunderstanding: the code Richard added doesn't remove
[EXTERNAL] from the Subject line shown to the user, it removes it when
"simplifying" the Subject for the purposes of comparing it to other
Subjects.  IOW, it's an internal removal, not visible to the user.
All the user sees is that Subjects "Foo" and "[EXTERNAL] Foo" compare
equal, just like "Re: Foo" and "Antwort: Foo".  Rmail has a command
rmail-next-same-subject, which uses that.
