Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

Reply to an email with "答复:" at the start of the subject line.

答复: (i.e. daifu) is Chinese for reply. It seems to be what my Chinese colleagues MUA (probably a version of Outlook) inserts when replying.

Actual results:

The subject line as "Re:" prepended to it in the reply.

Expected results:

Thunderbird is already smart enough to not prepend when it sees "Re:", "RE:", "Fwd:" etc so either stripping "答复:" before prepending "Re:" or not prepending anything would be better. I assume the same applies for other locales (particular ones which don't use a latin character set).
