Since you're in Entourage, you could do it yourself via a rule (Criteria:
Subject contains [missing-sync-palmos-talk] , or just on the Mailing List
rule for this list):

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
    set theSubject to subject of theMsg
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"[missing-sync-palmos-talk]"}
    set theBits to text items of theSubject
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"[MS-Palm]"}
    set theSubject to theBits as Unicode text
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
    set subject of theMsg to theSubject
end tell


Paste, Compile and Save that as a Script in Script Editor, save to the
Entourage Script Menu Items folder in the MUD folder, and make a rule to run
the script for messages whose Subject contains [missing-sync-palmos-talk],
or just run this script on messages filtered by the Mailing List Manager on
this mailing list (Otherwise, if you do use MLM, you must allow other rules
to run in the Advanced pane for this list. Better just to run the script
from the MLM rule.) Every such message will be flagged as edited, but so
what.
