One more reason to done this configurable (not in mean configurable
text which CM adds, but configurable mangling of the existing subject), to
prevent the subject in form:

"Re: R: Re: etc"

Because with this, while CM respects the RFC, it produces the violation of
this. Yes, i know it is initialy caused out of CM.

I agree, hardcodeing these "mangling" variants is bad idea, but
configuration on per-user (and per-cause) base can solve this and can
prevent to produce the bad output from CM.

regards
