Message filter to copy sent item to local folder
I have a message filter that copies every sent item to a local folder when I send it. I want this in addition to the normal sent item placed in the IMAP folder.
This works fine, except that when I reply to an email and the subject is prepended with "Re: ", the copy made in the local folder is not prepended with "Re: ".
Why is this, and how can I make sure the copy in local folders is prepended with "Re: " as it is in the IMAP sent folder?

The 're' is prepended at the time of sending. It is not a part of the actual subject, but an email signal to recipient.

If "Re: " is not part of the actual subject then why is it present in the Subject field of the message composition window when I am typing a reply?
Please read my response. It is prepended. Debating it doesn't change it. I am not defending it, only advising on what is happening.

So if I start a new email from scratch, instead of replying, and I manually type "Re: " at the start of the subject, would you expect the copy in the IMAP folder to differ from the one the filter copies to Local Folders?
Hi triatica,
I understand that you are talking about “Re:” being removed from a subject header when you reply to a message that already has it.
This is a mystery to me. Would you please share a screen image of the filter rules?
