Re: "Re:" getting out of hand.

FYI, in ecore land, this is considered to be a deficiency in the ENoteAndPreview package, and we'd like to find a useful resolution for this. I have a site that uses it, and the Re: Re: Re: buildup in comments is an annoyance.

Why they just can't have it stay where it is like e-mail is beyond me. You do find the odd e-mail that says "Re: Fwd: Re: (Fwd) My Resume" but that's not typical. One "Re:" is enough, isn't it?	[reply]

Back when I was using Windows, I used TheBat! for reading mail, and one of its favourite attention-to-detail features of mine was how it would set the subject to something like `Re[2]:`. I think the people who use Newest Nodes or a script that reads its ticker to browse the monastery (that includes me) find the information the Re: nesting provides quite useful. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
