I'm seeing a behavior where MM strips capitalized text followed by a : in the subject line (it strips "CR:", for example). I would assume that's to deal with any RE:, SV:, etc. so that you don't end up with RE: RE: RE....
That is correct. It even handles chinese symbols after this was reported as a problem.
It's a bit aggressive to do it like this, but subject lines often become very ugly.
However, it's breaking the poor benighted souls in my company that use Outlook (Outlook threads on Subject line). We use tags (like CR:) to identify what the e-mail is (for example, "CR: foo" means a report about a call with foo).
Ah, so when you reply then it ruins their threading, because the `CR:` is missing. I was mainly concerned about the loss of information when I implemented it, but no-one complained until now :-)
Any chance of having a dictionary of text to strip, rather than a '??:' ?
That might actually be the best (only) way to solve it. The current solution is hardcoded in a settings file (`specifiers.plist`). You can change it, but it's not straightforward to do so. I'll note that I should somehow make it easily configurable, e.g., with a regular expression (it's currently `{Alpha}{2,3}`).
