Just a note, since people's email clients replacing "Re:" with various abbreviations in their own language leads to chains of the type seen in the subject above...

"Re" does not stand for "regarding"; in fact, it's not English at all. It is the Latin word "re", the ablative case of "res" which means "thing". Thus, "Re:" means something like "From the thing:" and is not an abbreviation.

Feel free to express your linguistic pride by replacing "Re:" with whatever you wish, but realize that you're not thwarting an Anglocentric plot to take over the world, but are instead trying to beat an already dead language, a fact that's particularly ironic if one speaks a Romance language as the "Réf. :" above indicates. :-)
