Some MUA authors falsely assume that the string "Re:" at the beginning of subject of a reply is a shortcut for the English word "Reply", and translate that string. "AW" is an example of such translation. It is a shortcut for German word "Antwort", which means "Reply". It is a completely wrong concept, but you can still find it in some MUAs. "Re:" actually comes from the Latin phrase "in re," which means "in the matter of", so it should never be translated. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
