Well, you're giving me nightmares. :-)

Using a string other than "Re:" for replies leads to things like

    Subject: Odp: Re: AW: Re: Configurable Reply Attribution UI?

Because there's no way every mail client can know every string that
every other mail client is using to mean "Re:".

It might be nice to have evo translate it when *displaying* messages (so
that this message would show up with "Odp:" at the beginning of the
subject when you look at it, but not when I look at it), but I suspect
that even then, the string would sometimes end up escaping into the
wild.

Better to just stick with "Re:". It's not like it's really particularly
English anyway. (I suppose it must be short for "Regarding:", but I know
I don't think of it that way.)
