The default subject is "Re: " followed by the subject with stripped

RFC 2822 limits this to the literal string "Re: " and suggests that no other
forms be used. IMO this is the right course; any other course opens cans of
worms best left unopened.
Keith Moore's draft suggests "Auto: "?
in our vacation feature, we use
Subject: Auto: I'm away from my mail (was: SUBJECT )
"(was: ...)" is one of those small things which should've been
standardised. Gnus will ask the user if the "(was: ...)" should be
removed from Subject when replying.
