Question

Gmail automatically adds which prefix in the subject field in case you forward an email?​

Answer 1

I would like to automatically add a prefix to the subject line everytime I send email to a particular group I have set up in Gmail.

For example, whenever I email a colleague, I want to add "Office:" to the beginning of the subject line. This is to help me and others filter out work email when using personal accounts.

I know there are other options to do the filtering (Gmail labels are great!), but not everyone is on Gmail and don't have the same kind of options. Also, emails tend to come from various different personal accounts, adding to the confusion. So it would make things easier if all emails went out as:

   Office: Actual subject line

How can I set this up to happen automatically when emailing a particular group?

Answer 2

'Fwd' is the prefix that Gmail automatically adds in the subject field in case you forward an email.

• Gmail offers the service to 'forward' emails, i.e. to send the mail one receives to a different receiver.
• When one forwards a mail, the prefix 'Fwd' gets added to the subject of the email. This is to let the receiver know that the mail is a forwarded one.
• Even if there is no subject in the mail, the prefix definitely stays.
