  • WinPoint adding Re's to subject

    From Martin Foster@2:280/464.27 to Tim Schattkowsky on Fri Feb 3 10:32:24 2023
    Hello Tim!

    As it was a while since I'd done a fresh *clean* install of WinPoint, I decided to do one yesterday and everything seemed to go well. However, I've noticed this morning that WinPoint is adding a "Re: " in front of the subject on all my replies despite configuring it not to do that. It's *never* done that before but you won't actually see any of them because I'm deleting them before sending replies out onto the network.

    This is how I have it configured .....

    I haven't actually changed anything, those are the default settings.

    Regards,
    Martin

    Confirmed. Have to check, why this happens. Probably not a big thing.

    Well, I just checked again and its not a bug. WP so far has never allowed completely disabling the Re:. Instead, the option is only for disabling Re^X, which means numbered Re-s. So a reply to "Re: X" will remain "Re: X" instead of becoming "Re^2: X".

    I will put it on the list, as it has become common not to use Re: anymore.

    Tim

    Implemented in version 414. So will be included in the next release.
