    I am curious



    What does AW: mean in the subject line?



    Is this different than RE: or FW:?

    Mike,



    Since I have received frequently a similar question I want to reveal the

secret of those abbreviations:



    My Microsoft Outlook is a German Version - believe it or not, I really

bought it!



    Therefore "AW" means "Antwort", which literarily means "answer" and

functionally "Re". If you ever find in my messages the combination "WG" (it

is very unlikely) it would mean "weitergeleitet" or "FW".



    Thank you for your interest, any further questions on German or Swedish

abbreviations are welcome!



    Franz
