FTR, you used Thunderbird and it simply replied in my charset.

Can anyone come up with an app actually calling another apps's replicant's About alert? I don't. Frankly, I'm hard pressed to come up with any app relying on other replicants...BeHappy would be a candidate, but that wasn't I meant. Replicants could do anything when they receive a B_ABOUT_REQUESTED - ie. they could even open a configuration dialog. This kind of functionality would no longer be accessible if you remove the menu item. It's only a theoretical problem, and we could still replace it with the title suggested by Rimas, and see if we'll receive a bug report about this or not :-)
"Doing anything" should not be happening when the user requests the about dialog. :)
WRT to replicants, we can only show how we do it for our replicants and see if they follow (and maybe add it to our HIG one day...).It's not that simple, as you don't control that menu; it's created for you by the replicant shell view. If we change it, it would be changed for all replicants.
Well, let's not forget that clicking anywhere outside that handle (as in, on the replicant itself) is possible, and the application author can set up any menu items there.
Though actually I thought that the handler menu can also be altered, can't it? I assume that's why the method is called _BuildDefaultPopup and not _BuildPopupMenu. Or am I wrong?
