Hi,

Re[n]: is something that Lotus mail clients do. The Bat, which I and
some other people here are using also does it. Personally I don't like
it, but I don't know how to turn it off.

Re: Re[n] presumably arises because some mail clients don't understand
Re[n]: as another form of Re:

No idea where Subject: comes from.

I imagine there's some RFC which defines what they should be. Perhaps
if Ralf Stubner is reading he will point us to it.
