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!

A great add-on but it does not work with Thunderbird 78. Would be great to have it updated to work with TB 78!

Priceless!

Very useful for inter-language communications.

It's a bit limited, since it doesn't support retaining the prefix added by the client (because the addon runs when the composing window is presented, which includes the prefix already). In order to work this around, use a negative lookahead:

(?!^)(Ref|Tr|Re|Fwd):\s+

Great thank you! :-) As most addons don't work anymore since v68 I am also looking for an alternative for Clean Subject.

So: Is it possible to also Search-Replace? I would like to replace localized versions like "Aw" and "Wg" (German for "Re"/"Fw") with the international version.

Hi, where can I find the controls in Thunderbird, OSX, German? Am I just blind?

Thanks so much for updating this to work with TB 68! Tested version 2.0.0, works like a charm!
