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.              ---        * Origin: news://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 128/260 135/225 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 214/22 218/0 1 601 700 820 840 850 860 870       SEEN-BY: 218/880 930 940 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206       SEEN-BY: 229/307 317 400 426 428 470 664 700 266/512 280/464 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 301/1 113 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 5075/35       PATH: 221/6 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
