Is the number of lines between the NAME and SUBJECT lines always the same?
If so, use something like:
^NAME .*\n.*\n.*\nSUBJECT:
If the number of lines to be matched is not always the same it can be done in TextPad, but it's not as easy as it should be and cannot be done with a single regular expression replacement, as TextPad's regex engine provides no way to match an arbitrary number of newlines. Other tools, such as WidlEdit (http://www.textpad.com/products/wildedit/) use more modern and powerful regex engines that do not suffer from this restriction.
You haven't said which part of the matched text you want to replace and what you want to replace it with.
