Hi Diane!
Thanks for the quick response.
From your message it sounds like you are saying my friend's email
client (Outlook 2003) is adding a space at the beginning of the
subject line. Then when my Outlook 2007 client sees this it puts
another RE: in front because it doesn't see the original RE:?
Is there a way to configure the Outlook client to stop this behavior?
Thank again,
Joel
