Usage notes
editThis word, when used in this particular sense, is often rendered as Re: (with a colon and a capital R). It is not an abbreviation. Its capitalization in sentence-initial position (such as in subject lines) is often reanalyzed as being intrinsic, leading to intrasentence capitalization. Because email software introduces it to the subject line in email replies, it often conveys an added meaning of reply in the 21st century, in addition to the earlier aspect of regarding.
