Re_xx 1.2

YAM 2.0p4 had 'Smart Re:' feature which, instead of just adding Re: in front
of subject when replying to message, was adding Re[xx]: , where xx was actual
number of message in the thread. This was very simple, yet nice, usable and
unique feature. However, in versions after p4, this feature became lost.

Though I agree with author of YAM that programs shouldn't support nonstandard
solutions, I think that if someone wants to use something which is not
standard, he should. Perhaps it will become a standard if enough people are
using it?

And so I made this Arexx script which acts just like old 'Smart Re:'.

INSTALLATION:

Copy Re_xx.rexx to YAM:Rexx/

In Configuration/Arexx/Before writing a message :
Enter Rexx/Re_xx.yam in 'Script' gadget
Select Arexx for type of command
Turn 'Wait for termination' gadget OFF

BUGS:

I don't know about any real bugs, but here are some misfeatures of Re_xx:

1) Re_xx can't make a difference between replying and writing a new message,
so even when you are writing a new message, subject from currently selected
message will be put in subject field. Since v1.2 this is reduced only to
messages which have Re[xx]: or Re: Re[xx]: in subject. Big thanks go to
Michael Wohlers for... showing me how to do it ;)

Solution: when writting a message, allways be in Outgoing folder.

2) When someone with YAM2.0 who don't have Re_xx is answering your mail,
subject will be preceeded with Re: instead of Re: Re[xx]: which, of course,
prevents Re_xx of valid numbering. I have no idea why Marcel implemented
that... Same thing goes for AEMail and probably some other mailers.

Solution: convince all your friends to use Re_xx ;)
