Currently when sending private messages through the website, the subjects of the generated mails are prefixed with "[OpenStreetMap] ". This is nice.
When anwering such a mail, the mail client will put a "Re: " in front of it. While forwarding the message, to the inbox on the website, the "[OpenStreetMap] " is stripped. Also nice.
The Problem begins with the mail that is being generated now for the receiver: The subject starts with "[OpenStreetMap] Re:" while "Re: [OpenStreetMap] " would be more appropriate, since this was the subject after the first reply via mail and is expected to be retained.
Still worse, when answering this message by mail, the subject becomes "Re: [OpenStreetMap] Re:" and the receiving person will get a subject starting with "Re: Re: " in the website's inbox and a mail subject starting with "[OpenStreetMap] Re: Re: ". Each reply via mail will now add another "Re: ".
Suggested enhancement: Insert "[OpenStreetMap] " after "Re: " if it exists at the beginning of subject to be sent via mail. Strip "[OpenStreetMap] " not only from the beginning of a subject in a received mail, but also after "Re :" at the beginning. Search for "Re: " should be case-insensitive due to broken mail clients using e. g. "RE: "
