Reusing subject in reply message with mailboxer - rails

I'm using a gem called mailboxer to allow users to send messages among eachother.

For the reply to message method, is there a way I can get the user to skip putting in a new subject every time they reply in a conversation??

In my conversations controller, this is what I had:

  def reply
    current_user.reply_to_conversation(conversation, *message_params(:body, :subject))
    redirect_to conversation
  end

I tried using:

 def reply
    current_user.reply_to_conversation(conversation, *message_params(:body, mailboxer.message_mailer.subject_reply))
    redirect_to conversation
  end

Which has not worked. Ideally there should only be one subject per conversation, I'm not sure why this gem would allow a different subject in every response within a conversation. How do I remove the subject from reply's so that the message keeps the same subject the entire time? Should I modify the reply method?

It looks to me like if there is no subject passed to reply_to_conversation, the subject is set to "RE: {conversation.subject}", where conversation is the first argument passed to reply_to_conversation.

So one solution is to just not pass a subject argument to this method, e.g.:

current_user.reply_to_conversation(conversation, body)

If you really want it to just copy the subject (with no "RE:"), you would do:

current_user.reply_to_conversation(conversation, body, conversation.subject)

The source for this method should help:
