Well, maybe *they* won't fix it, but it's probably a simple matter of
applying emacs to the binary... :-) It's most likely in there as a
simple constant string.  (And if you do find the right offset, there's
probably some simple set of commands you can give to some DOS/Windoze
editor or debugger to make the same fix, simple enough that you can
publicize it for any user who doesn't even know what "binary" means.)
"Fixing" wl->fwd may be more troublesome, since the strings are of
different length.

(Of course, I don't have the program, I try to avoid Windows when
possible, and I don't know for sure how they code the "Re:"/"Aw:"
addition.  I could be wrong.  It could be very hard to change.)

It should at least be reported as a bug by as many people as possible,
and make sure you let them know why it's wrong.  If it isn't reported,
then there's an even smaller chance they'll fix it.
