My reading of the RFC is like Michael's, I say it again without the
typo this time:

In my understanding of this 'MAY' it means may use "Re: or may not use
Re:". It does not mean "may use Re: or may use any other
abbreviation".

And to quote the RFC '"Re: " (from the Latin "res", in the matter
of)', so Aw:, for example, (in my limited understanding of German),
being short for Antwort, a translation of 'reply', is wrong anyway.

with regards

Paul
