   Sylpheed seems to add the Re: and thus cuts off the text at the beginning of   
   the subject.  I don't see where the Re: can be disabled.  Personally, I don't   
   like the addition of Re:   
      
   As per your question, I think we've seen enough. People who prefer to   
   communicate in Hebrew would simply use the tools that handle it properly, such   
   as systems that support FTN<->nntp+utf8   
      
   Wrt to the subject line, users would quickly learn to keep the subject line   
   short.   
      
   So.. the fault is not FTN per se. FTN was built to support an English-speaking   
   community. And as you have discovered, just supporting utf-8 is not enough   
   espectially if the the requirement is to support languages that typically   
   require writing/reading right-to-left.
