   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...
