| actually, I didn't use that exact text, just the parts I liked.  The
| text I added was
| 
| Users can specify the subject of the reply with the ":subject"
| parameter.  If the :subject parameter is not supplied, then the
| subject is generated as follows: The subject is set to the
| characters "Re: " followed by the original subject with all
| leading occurances of the characters "Re: " stripped off.

  I have noticed that there are are number of national variants to re:
in common use, in swedish it is sv: and I think german uses av:. I think
that using re: in replies is ok although it could be a site defined
parameter but that all leading short words ending in : should be
stripped.
