You don't have to tell me that :-) ...tell Microsoft, Novell, the countless

Good point. I'll add that to the wish... once I can connect to the RL
issuetracker site again (seems to be down again).

I can't find anything more specific than RFC 2822 (" Internet Message
Format"). About the subject prefix it contains only:
.-----
| When used in a reply, the field body MAY start with the
| string "Re: " (from the Latin "res", in the matter of) followed by the
| contents of the "Subject:" field body of the original message.
`-----
No word about FW:/FWD: and according to this definition, TB's own "Re[n]:"
is a violation of the RFC.
Other than that, I don't know how to interpret "MAY" here. OK, it means
"truly optional", but: does this mean, use "Re:" if you want, but nothing
else, or rather, "Re:" can be used, but anything else just as well?
Philosophical questions...
