 Quoting RFC2822:

   The "Subject:" field is the most common and contains a short string
   identifying the topic of the message.  When used in a reply, the field
   body MAY start with the string "Re: " (from the Latin "res", in the
   matter of) followed by the contents of the "Subject:" field body of the
   original message.  If this is done, only one instance of the literal
   string "Re: " ought to be used since use of other strings or more than
   one instance can lead to undesirable consequences.

 Attached patch adds a boolean configuration option "reply_prefix",
 defaulting to on.  If this flag is turned off, original subject will be
 used, unaltered.
