Hiya,
Before I apologised to everyone for incorrectly advising them that
'Re' was short for 'Regarding' and 'Referencing' I checked Wiktionary:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/re
So it goes both ways, Re re.
Cheers,
Luis.

And "re" is not an abbreviation of English "regarding" or "reply"
but a Latin word meaning "by the thing" (which follows). Aside
from in email replies, the most common use is in the law, where
cases regarding children will be anonymised to a letter and be
reported "Re B"
(Sorry to be a trifle nerdy, but I do a lot of courtwork)

Hi,
I did never notice... Do I guess right ?
if people from California or Germany answer "Rép:" on my Swiss-
french Mac, that means they are also using Apple's mail ? Well,
they are a large majority...

Hi Tiemo,
And Apple's Mail doesn't speak german? ;)
it DOES, but in a bit more sophisticated way.
"RE" might stand for "Replik", gelle?! :-D
Best
Klaus
