**As a user, I want to be able to forward an email message to Discourse to start a discussion, without having the topic include all the “FW:”, “Fwd:”, “RE:”, etc. cluttering up the topic line, so that it’s easier to read what the topic is without the useless email junk.**

Saw this today when someone forwarded a message to start a discussion about a document he received. There was about 15 characters of junk that I ended up stripping out of the topic title.
