Sorry about that. If Lotus is going to do that, they should have the
decency not to string them together...

If you look carefully at the "X-Mailer" field of the email sent, you
will see that the mail client used is "Lotus Notes Release 5.07a May
14, 2001". Unfortunately, the french version is replacing the "Re:"
with "Réf. :". Changing this value if probably not possible on a
per-user basis...

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. :-)
