As someone pointed out in another thread, maybe in mutt-users,
mutt's hard-coded "Re: " is not very international.  Perhaps a
better way to handle this would be to make 'reply_prefix' a string
option defaulting to "Re: ".  Then you could have the behavior you
want by setting it to an empty string and others could customize it
with, for example, "Aw: ".

In what situation do you not want the subject of your reply to begin
with "Re: " or your national language equivalent?
