In the last few days, I've started seeing some messages where the subject line has "Rif.:" Like this one. Basically, it looks like the Re: for reply, but I had never seen it before. Exactly what does it mean? I know some of the foreign language posters will have other things pop up there when they reply. Such as some Chinese characters. Then you get a long string of Re: (chinese) Re: (chinese) Re: ..... as the chinese person replies back and forth with an English speaker. (It gets kind of annoying to see the subject line filled up and you occasionally have to strip out the excess if you jump in with a reply.)
It would be nice if the forums recognize the different Re: designators and don't append them back and forth on to each other. Or just uses Re: no matter what the language is of the poster since all the boards are all actually posted on an English language website.
One other question, why do some people have replies that add a space after the Re and before the colon so "Re ::?
