This is just one of the RFC vioalations of Outlook, additionaly to not setting
in-reply-to header correctly...

But I thing it has the same silly behavior in other locales. So hardcoding
wouldn't be a good idea. Only a configurable option for Re: or Fwd: make
sense. 

First time I got an email from a "Wohngemeinschaft" (WG: flat-share)
i was wondering what it should mean.
