Humm... for non-english users, the "Re: <original subject>" it's ok,
but it's not very "user friendly" about the problem... the (sender)
user must open the e-mail to discover the problem, now image if the
user have a PDA or cell phone with internet access (this is my case):
The user will read the subject and thinking: "this is my response!",
connect to internet (and pay for this) download some kbytes and
discover that is a error, not a response... With the patch, I can
translate the error to my languange and avoid this...

Sorry, but I like the way that the patch works...

Regards.
