MailMate displayed the subject as "Kee: [Jellystone] Working from home Wednesday"</p>

<p dir="auto">Your analysis is correct. Some day I might change the code to use a fixed set of prefixes or simply make it configurable. (Low level, I could probably quickly add this for you if you like.)</p>
<p dir="auto">Ideally, all email clients would only use <code>Re:</code> and <code>Fwd:</code> and then localize them for display purposes only. Unfortunately, a lot of email clients got that wrong, in particular, Outlook.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've written a very detailed <a href="http://blog.freron.com/2013/re-the-complexity-of-a-simple-prefix/">blog post</a> on this subject if you wonder why prefixes are not a simple problem.</p>
