Dave,

The regex working group happily provide you with the following snippet to cut down on proliferating "Re: "'s in the subject line.

In the newMessageForm (in the #tools table) change

local (subject = "Re: " pta^.messages^.[string.padwithzeros (inreplyto, 5)].subject)

to

local (subject = pta^.messages^.[string.padwithzeros (inreplyto, 5)].subject)

regex.subst( "^(re: )*(.*)", "Re: \\2", @subject )

You should do it also in getMessageSubject script - but that script doesn't seem to do anything.

I couldn't find any other instances where you were adding a "Re: " to a subject line.

Of course, you're free to ignore this message, and do the subject anyway you want :-)

Since discussionGroup.root is (presumably) example code - it also may not be wise to include a call to an extension like regex.

Cheers, Christopher
