If you want to remove localized "Re:" alternatives (like the "AW:" in German), you should search the web for "mailnews.localizedRe". Thunderbird can detect localized variants natively, if correctly configured. This worked for me in Thunderbird 128.2. Please observe, that this applies only to new mails after you set it. Repairing a folder also activated the cleaning for me for the corresponding folder. Hope that helps!

Does not work with TB 68.3.1. Would be great if you could get it to work with the latest TB!
Many thanks

For me the most basic functions work very good, I am happy with it.

(but I didn't try to change setting by RegEx)

Tantalizing idea. Can't get it to work. Using Windows 10. Is there another app that works?

A couple of gotch-yas:

Unfortunately the regular expressions cannot accept the OR operator (| vertical bar) because it is being used internally to delimit multiple expressions.

When testing new expressions the preferences dialog has to be closed and re-opened for changes to be recognised.

Does it clean subjects in INBOX and/or incoming messages?
If no, it will be awesome to support incoming messages

It is quite irritating, when compiling emails, to deal with a subject line that is cluttered with many RE:'s or FW:'s. I despise the unnecessary time that I have to spend in "cleaning-up" the sloppy subject line of others. I use the subject line to filter, redirect and archive emails extensively. Thus, I always "clean-up" the subject line first, before replying, redirecting or forwarding an email. Thankfully, the 'Clean Subject' extension does it on my behalf and I can continue dealing with the email without the irritation of removing a kizillion RE:'s & FW:'s first. Granted... to "clean-up" one subject line, only waste about 3 to 5 seconds. ...But, when you are dealing with 200 emails on an average working day... you do the math!

It's a great extentioin!
However, if it can support muti-byte characters, such as Chinese, it's better.

OK. Chinese is supported by regular expression. E,g;
答复: -> \u7B54\u590D:

So, great!

Working in the environment of a law office, this is an indispensable add-on.

I have used the add-on for a long time, am totally satisfied and can also acknowledge that it works on TB5.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.4.2).  This user has a previous review of this add-on.

Great extension!

Very useful in e-mail threads involving people from countries, where the standard 'Re' and 'Fwd' prefixes are translated into native languages. This extension allows to keep the subject clean without a stack of 'Re' prefixes in different languages.

It seems to be working with Thunderbird 5.0 after adjusting the maxVersion value in install.rdf. No problems noticed so far.

This is awesome ,I've discovered that if you receive a forwarded email from Outlook when using thunderbird by default it keeps the FW: in the email, this means that outlook clients interpret this as a new thread.

Clean Subject removes the FW: (as per outlook) and this means that for people on outlook you get a proper continous thread
and not so many (i.e. NO) broken threads!

Great stuff!!

Cheers

Funktioniert bestens - im Gegensatz zum "Subject Cleaner", der leider auch das aktuell erzeugte Re: entfernt, das eigentlich bleiben sollte.
