Re: standardized method of changing reply-subject



Hi,

I'm thinking about changing the subject of a thread, and have asked

is a proven method for doing so. For example, given the subject line
is "Meeting next week",
I would change it to "Meeting cancelled [was: Meeting next week]".
Maybe some mail-clients
have a way of handling this kind of situation, I don't know.

In usenet it's common (at least in de.* groups) to change the subject
like this:

   Foo
   Re: Foo
   Bar (was: Foo)

I still have a patch which adds an option (regex) of what to strip when
making up subjects. I can mail it to you if don't mind compiling mutt
yourself.
