Mail subject settings on replies in Entourage 11.1.0

[Andreas Beutel]

Hi,

is there any known possibility to tweak Entourage's reply behaviour
regarding the mail subject? I use a German version and until I installed SP1
mail subjects on replies were prefixed with "AW: ". Now, with SP1 applied,
it uses the prefix "Re:" (which I could live with) BUT the whitespace behind
the colon is missing and this gives me a spell check alert on every mail I
reply to...

This is a silly bug that got missed when they released the internationalised
versions.

Here is a tip from
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq_topic/cc_bcc_fw.html#cc5> concerning how
to adjust these settings in 2004 pre-SR1 - I guess it's still the same
strings in SR1:

5) Does anyone know how to deactivate the strange localized prefixes for the
topic in Entourage 2004? I need "Re "instead of German "AW "for replies and
"FW" instead of "WG" for forwarded Mails. Any hints?

These are stored in STR #25386, items 6 and 7 of the Microsoft Framework
file. Using a resource editor like Resourcerer, you can change them to
whatever you want. [Advanced]

Thanks a lot! That's it. ResEdit did the job for me.
