Sorry, I don't know how to do that using my mail client (Outlook 2003; still
very common). My choices are `Reply', `Reply All', and `Forward'. I can edit
To, Cc, and Subject fields, of course, but I prefer not to have to do that each
time I reply, just to satisfy the bug tracker.

Well, thank goodness you do that. Creating a new bug report each time someone
hits `Reply' would be pretty brain-dead (i.e., not too sane).

That was my guess too. So the answer is to not remove "RE:". I imagine it is
OK to add "OT", but not to replace "RE:" with "OT:".
Depending on "RE:" for sanity sounds pretty fragile, but I can certainly live
with that. This should be documented for users somewhere, if it isn't already.
