In this sort of situation, if I don't have access to the source code I sometimes patch the executable; search for the string I don't want, and change it to something else (of no greater length). For example, somewhere in the KA9Q suite the response to a posting is hard-coded to "<whoever> writes:"; I patched that to "<whoever> wrote:" after somebody suggested that this was better.
