When using Reply Forward Subject Prefix, the most common questions fall into 3 areas: effect scope, language behavior, and where to find the setting; this FAQ includes 3 common questions.
FAQ
Does changing the prefix affect older emails?
- No. Existing email subjects are not changed.
- The new setting only applies to replies or forwarded emails created after the change.
- If you want to confirm the result, reply to or forward a message after saving the setting.
Why can’t I find the Reply/Forward Subject Prefix option?
- Open WPS Mail and go to Mail Settings from the settings button in the upper-right corner.
- Select Sending Settings in the left navigation pane.
- If the option still does not appear, make sure the mail feature has loaded normally and then reopen the settings page.
What does Use current language mean?
- This option applies the subject prefix that matches the current interface language.
- If the interface language changes, later replies and forwarded emails follow that current language setting.
- If you want a fixed format, choose Chinese prefixes or English prefixes directly.
