[CUBE] Mail client question

[Alan Thompson]

it's boris'.

but the thing that gets me isn't the AW: part, but that it's not a 
simple AW: every time, or even repeated AW:'s for multiple replies as 
is typical email client behavior.

somebody commented on this the other day, when everyone seemed to be 
bitching at each other on this list, and I just deleted the whole 
thread.  but not one message on the subject mentioned that it wasn't 
the antwort or whatever that was bugging them, but it's the 
non-standard behavior of the mail client to rewrite the re- thread as 
it does.

say someone replies to the message - it will be an re: blah blah bla...

and again, and again - but his client seems to be doing:  re: blah re: 
blah re: blah, thus "mangling" the subject header, or so it would seem.
