Mail clients such as Outlook breach standards by translating
"Re" e.g. to "AW" (German short for "Antwort"). This results in
cascades such as "Re: AW: Re: AW: Hello World" as a message
goes hence and forth. I've written a simple header_check which
sanitizies this madness:

 I'd like to add more translations of "Re" and "Fwd" in other
languages. If you know some, please comment on the above blog
article.

Thanks!




While I sympathize, probably not a good idea.

Munging the subject header will break digital signatures eg. DKIM,
OpenPGP, S/MIME.


At least S/MIME only sign the message in most cases, not the headers. While there is a extention in RFC 3851 to also protect headers its more of a hack and i doubt there is wide support at the client side for this. But you are right for sure for the others :-(
