Okay, my try :-)
The macros for stripping down all Re:'s and Aw:'s look like:
%SETPATTREGEXP="(?i)((Re|Aw)\:\s*)*(.*)"
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%OSUBJ"
Re: %SUBPATT="3"
Lets make a QuickTemplate and name it strip-re-intl; it gives you
(in the message body): "Re: (original subject without re and aw's)"
But this works not for the Subject line, unless somebody can tell
how to nest quotes. The normal way to replace the subject of a
message is
%SUBJECT=""%SUBJECT="Re: (This was the original subject)"
Using recursive QuickTemplates involves the quoted handle of the QT,
and the subject macro quotes its text too. So, assuming the QT
handle strip-re-intl, my first approach was:
%SUBJECT=""%SUBJECT="%QINCLUDE="strip-re-intl""
but that doesn't work. I tried using ' instead of " and escaping the
quote with a Backslash, a second quote or a percent sign, but
nothing worked :-(
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
