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.
