I would appreciate it being resent. This is how I did it.. In emacs/lisp/rmail.el, add the line (defvar subject-re "Re: " "*String to put in front of subject for replies") Line 1217 (or so) should look like: (mail-strip-quoted-names reply-to) subject (rmail-make-in-reply-to-field-from date message-id) [May be a little different, I lost the original.] Change it to be: (mail-strip-quoted-names reply-to) (concat subject-re subject) (rmail-make-in-reply-to-field-from date message-id) You can then customize what the subject is prepended with by changing the variable "subject-re". > Also I lost > the code to add BCC to messages, but that was less useful, as it was > often tranmitted so everyone could see it!
