Email Bug - Start a New Topic
The subject of an emailed message sent from the Forum is changed by ElkArte. software, by adding the Site Name to the Subject line.
So, if you have "Allow the starting of a new topic by changing the reply subject" checked , every emailed reply will start a new topic.
For example..
Post #1: Subject: This is a new post in My Forum
(Email received) Subject: [My Forum] This is a new post in My Forum
Reply to Post #1 - Subject; Re: [My Forum] This is a new post in My Forum
..starts a NEW topic: - Subject: [My Forum] This is a new post in My Forum
A reply to the new topic sends out an email - Subject; Re: [My Forum][My Forum] This is a new post in My Forum
Ans a reply to that email will start yet another new topic, Subject: [My Forum][My Forum] This is a new post in My Forum
Unless we can fix the code so it strips the added site name in the subject of incoming emails, admins MUST turn off the ability to start a new topic by changing the subject, otherwise, EVERY email reply will start a new topic (because the software changes the subject by adding the site name to the existing subject text when it sends out the email).

Yeah, but what does it happen when you reply to the email to create a post?
Doesn't the client add a new "Re:" in your language?
I'm not sure if this is still a thing, but a while ago it was pretty common that the email client was applying the prefix to the subject in the language of the client itself.

Well, this is on here on this site, and both you and me have used PBE to reply to topics and... well the messages went to the right place, isn't it?

That's a possibility I guess.
What email service did you use for the PbE?
