I have little experience of other newsreaders and I have no idea
why except that it is a free newsreader and it is likely a
complex task to ensure that a preference does not give unexpected
results now and then. A survey of all the languages and formats
and whatever would need to be canvassed and translation
facilities implemented. Probably nothing trivial! As has been
pointed out a few times and as I have personally experienced,
this problem is very much reduced with the latest incarnation of
MT and used on Tiger. I assume you have looked at and set your
preferences as best as you can?
