A lot of people dislike that, though. Especially when
random mailers put the "Re:" in a dozen different
places and they get duplicated, etc. Is:

        Subject: [abiword-dev] generating revenues
        Subject: RE: [abiword-dev] AW: Re: dictionaries
        Subject: [abiword-user] [libwv2] RE: Re: [abiword-dev] Re: tarball released
        Subject: Re: [abiword-dev] positive review

really that much easier?

The "correct" solution is to have your mailer filter
such messages into a different inbox.

I don't know how easy it is to do in Netscape, but I
have my mail filtering program setup to:

        if(/Sender: owner-abiword-dev@abisource.com/)
                to mail/INBOX-abi

and I never have to worry about such things.

Matthew.
