Balsa checks for "Re:" both literally and in translation, so in a  
correspondence between users with the same language, either could be  
used and would be collapsed appropriately.  However, fr.po has it  
translated to "Re :", with a plain space character, not non-breaking.   
So the comparison would fail even in correspondence among Francophones  
using the normal French translation.  In a multilingual correspondence,  
the translated form would never be recognized and collapsed.  So using  
the standard forms is probably best.

It seems to be left there after some folding and unfolding of the  
headers.  The message list and message display allow multi-line  
entries, so you just see a line break, but the Subject header in the  
compose window is a single-line GtkEntry, so it shows the '\n' as its  
hex value (at least, it does in my display).  Replacing newlines (and  
CRs, if any) with spaces is trivial.
