Some (very stupid) email clients, I think some versions of Outlook or
Outlook Express, internationalize/localize the "Re:" string [1].

Should we attempt to handle that here as well?

[1] which leads to stupid prefixing when somebody I email with uses the
German version - "AW: Re: AW: Re: AW: Re: [...]" since it's not even
smart enough to detect the "Re:" and replace it with "AW:" or similar.

I have another thread here that just kept growing "AW:" since it *did*
remove the "Re:", but *didn't* find the existing "AW:" afterwards, that
was with "Microsoft Outlook 15.0".
