Yes: I've seen "Fwd:" used, and also "[FWD]".

But there are other little things that people put in square 
brackets that probably *shouldn't* block spell-check.  For 
example, "[PATCH]" and "[PROPOSAL]".

I haven't tested the attached patch, but if there is consensus on 
this general direction of fix, I would be happy to finalize it 
(updating it based on suggestions here) and test it.
