I sent mail to our listserv with the subject: "Kee: Working from home

The listserv tacked the list name in front, so it said "[Jellystone]
Kee: Working from home Wednesday"
MailMate displayed the subject as "Kee: [Jellystone] Working from home
Wednesday"
I'm guessing this is an attempt to cleanup things like "Re:" and
"Fwd:" and put them where they belong. So I'm not sure it's a bug
worth fixing. But it took me a while to figure out. I had to look at
the raw message.
Your analysis is correct. Some day I might change the code to use a
fixed set of prefixes or simply make it configurable. (Low level, I
could probably quickly add this for you if you like.)
Ideally, all email clients would only use `Re:` and `Fwd:` and then
localize them for display purposes only. Unfortunately, a lot of email
clients got that wrong, in particular, Outlook.
I've written a very detailed [blog
post](http://blog.freron.com/2013/re-the-complexity-of-a-simple-prefix/)
on this subject if you wonder why prefixes are not a simple problem.
