-=> Quoting Dan Ceppa to Nancy Backus <=-

 JP> BW gives one the option to do this or not.
 DC> Sush!  Don't tell anyone unless they have it set ON!  
 
 NB> Hmmm...  I keep it on.... and then often as not, take it out manually,
 NB> especially if I'm changing the subject line anyway...   At least
 NB> BW, once it gets put in the first time, doesn't keep adding MORE to the
 NB> front of the line... :)
 DC> But, make it easier on yourself!  Turn it off!   
 
 DC> Have you ever seen some messages where the Subject line looks 
 DC> like:   re:re:re:re:re:re: and then some?  
 
 NB> Yeah, it happens all the time in email, especially with a couple of
 NB> people.  MY software only puts in the one Re:, and then never again,
 NB> but there's at least one that not only keeps* adding the re: but ALSO
 NB> adds a tab or something, so that the line looks like: 
 NB> Re:     Re:     Re:     Re:     and then some.   

 DC> That's the problem!  
 
 NB> Every so often, if the thread continues, I cut it back to just the
 NB> one, and watch it build up again... 

 DC> You are evil!  
 
 NB> I kinda like having the one Re:, though.  It makes it more obvious at
 NB> a glance that it is part of the follow-up to the original message... 
 NB> and with just the one re: it would then thread together all except the
 NB> original...  :)

 DC> That's why my reply always quotes the current thread.  

 DC> And, yes, it's with a RE:  !  

And I always leave too much of a quote in. 

In Blue Wave's: 
Setup/Configure Mail Reader
Preferences
Packet Preference Override
Message Entry Preferences
Insert "Re:" in reply subjects   YES/NO

Make the normal default setting NO and do a "Packet Preference Override" 
to have it default to YES for that reply packet. 

The same thing can be done for: 
Msg Area Preference Override
Message Entry Preferences

That way "Re" can be YES in some message areas, and NO in others.
