Description
Relevant here: https://github.com/mailgun/flanker/blob/master/flanker/mime/message/headers/wrappers.py#L185
Other languages deviate from the mostly standard Re: prefix. For example, some Outlook clients in German locale will use "AW" (reply) and "WG" (forwarded).

Research direction
Start at flanker/mime/message/headers/wrappers.py around line 185, where strip_replies handles the subject prefix. Review the linked list of localized reply and forwarding abbreviations and determine the supported forms to recognize. Done means subjects using prefixes such as German "AW" and "WG" are handled correctly without losing the remaining subject text.
