the help text could actively discourage people from changing the
reply prefix:

(defcustom message-subject-re "Re: "
  "*The string to insert at the beginning of subject lines when replying.
The standard value is \"Re: \" regardless of what language you use elsewhere
in your email messages.  Most mail readers look for \"Re: \" at the beginning
of subject lines and handle that prefix specially.  Selecting a different
prefix value would likely confuse most mail readers."

  :type 'string)
