Well, I like text based utilies for text based doings, so I use
"tin".

: Guess it thought "HELP" was "Re" or "Fwd" in another language.
: I've seen messages that use "SV:" instead of "Re:".

"SV" is from those of us that live in Sweden and other northern
European contries. It's short for "svar", "answer" in English.

It's a pity that whoever setups their news readers didn't follow the
standard "Re:", as no news reader will be able to handle all possible
variations. Just imagin what "Re:" will be in Russian or Chinese!


Right,
