Remove RE and FW From Replies in Microsoft Outlook

Are you annoyed by Outlook always adding "RE:" to the beginning of replies, or "FW:" to forwards? I personally hate that. You'd think there would be an option somewhere in the settings to get rid of that. Well, there ain't! In this video, I'll show you how you can disable that with one line of VBA code... in the right place, of course.

John from Bloomington, Illinois (a Gold Member) asks: Replying all, Outlook imposes "RE:" in the subject line. So annoying! How can I get rid of that?
