In article <16u9onINNdip@early-bird.think.com> barmar@think.com (Barry Margolin) writes: I believe this is intentional. Some of us don't believe that the "Re:" is necessary. If you sort messages by subject, this keeps the original and its replies together. The In-Reply-To field is enough to indicate that a message is a reply; why do you feel "Re:" is also necessary? Humm.... If it is a matter of taste or belief, why should it imposed on every- one? Personally, I prefer to have the subject prepended by a "Re: ". More than one mail reader can give you a list with only the author of the mail and the subject. There is often no presentation of the In-Reply-To field in such a list. I personally feel that something like this should be made an option for the user, not something hardcoded deep in the source...
