+<title>Handling localized "Re:" in subjects</title>
+
+<p>Traditionally a "Re:" prefix is added to a subject line when replying to an email. Some email applications use localized terms for this (like "SV:" in Danish or "AW: in German). <app>Evolution</app> can recognize these terms to avoid subject lines getting longer as the conversation continues.</p>
+
+<list>
+<item><p>Open the <app>Terminal</app> application.</p></item>
+<item><p>Run the command <cmd>gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.mail.composer-localized-re 'AW:,SV:'</cmd> (in case that you want "AW:" and "SV:" to be recognized).</p></item>
+</list>
+<p>You can also use the <app>dconf-editor</app> application to do this.</p>
