Is there? What is it, I'd like to read it. I run a list for which I
rewrite the Subject: header to put "[PT]" at the front of the subject
so that list traffic can be easily identified by subscribers. Of course
that means replies and replies to replies could end up generating ugly
junk like this:
Subject: [PT] some message
Subject: [PT] Re: [PT] some message
Subject: [PT] Re: [PT] Re: [PT] some message
Subject: [PT] Re: [PT] Re: [PT] Re: [PT] some message
Subject: [PT] Re: [PT] Re: [PT] Re: [PT] Re: [PT] some message
So instead I look for "Re: [PT]" at the front of Subject: lines and
rewrite it to "[PT] Re:" to avoid this.
That's not exactly rewriting the "Re:", perhaps, but I'd be interested
to know what an RFC has to say on the issue.
