Please excuse me if this has been discussed before: searching on very common keywords did not provide with any conclusions.

Many monks change the prefix of the title of response nodes by setting

Re^(number):

instead of just keeping the extra "Re: " that was prefixed. I like this a lot, but frequently forget to do it myself.

So, lazy as I am, I wonder why this process isn't automatic? Basically do a:

$title = "Re: $title" unless
 $title =~ s#^Re^?(\d*):#'Re^'.(defined $1 ? $1 + 1 : 2).':'#e;

on the title of a node before being placed in the form. Does this make sense?
