<p dir="auto">That is correct. It even handles chinese symbols after this was reported as a problem.</p>

<p dir="auto">However, it's breaking the poor benighted souls in my company that use Outlook (Outlook threads on Subject line). We use tags (like CR:) to identify what the e-mail is (for example, "CR: foo" means a report about a call with foo).</p>

<p dir="auto">Ah, so when you reply then it ruins their threading, because the <code>CR:</code> is missing. I was mainly concerned about the loss of information when I implemented it, but no-one complained until now :-)</p>

<p dir="auto">Any chance of having a dictionary of text to strip, rather than a '??:' ?</p>

<p dir="auto">That might actually be the best (only) way to solve it. The current solution is hardcoded in a settings file (<code>specifiers.plist</code>). You can change it, but it's not straightforward to do so. I'll note that I should somehow make it easily configurable, e.g., with a regular expression (it's currently <code>{Alpha}{2,3}</code>).</p>

<p dir="auto">Thank's Benny. I've looked in the specifiers.plist - oh my.... Thought about trying to adjust it, thought about a barge pole, and decided not to. :)</p>
