Lets suppose, i sent a mail to you with a Subject (Hello) and u replied to the same email. Then when i will receive this mail, i will see (Re: Hello) coz u replied to that mail. Also, u will see a green sign infront of the mail i sent to you in ur inbox. that means u replied to that mail. If u see a Fwd: Hello, then it means someone has forwarded a mail to you which that person received from his/her friend.
