Rails - Jan 2007 - Putting "RE:" in the subject line of Private Messages

Hey guys,

My app has a private messaging system and I need to be able to put “Re:”
in the subject line when a user replies to a message.

Something like this…

***message_reply.html****

<input type="text"  value="Re: <%= @message.subject
%>">

*************************

My problem is how do I stop the “Re:” building up when I save it to the
database.

I don’t want this …

Re: Re: Re: Re:

Any Ideas how this could be done?

In the above case it could be done with something like:

<%= ''Re: '' unless
@message.subject.starts_with?(''Re:'') %>

But it strikes me as something that''s better placed in the model, not
the UI.
