How to detect Replaygain tag?

I know it's a dumb question but I'd like to know how can I detect that my FLAC files have replaygain tag in it?

I've downloaded a set that I've been told was replaygain tagged but I didn't get the info when, for example, I put the file into winamp and ask for "file info" or into foobar when I click on a specific track for "show info file (special)" or "properties".

I made a test encoding a wav file with "replaygain" option checked on Flac Frontend and this time I have replaygain info for the specific flac file on foobar - "show info file (special)"

I've re-encoded the original replaygain flac to flac and indeed there's a difference: I have same fingerprints / shntool md5 signature / bitcompare results as audio data is indentical but mkwACT md5 signature is different for the two tracks due to the hidden tag...

I guess there's no need for me to rencode the flac for fixing it because when I decode the flac to wav the replaygain info is gone, am I right?
