O.T., Shimmyshack is it my newsreader not capable of handling the type of
subject string you send, or is it something misconfigured in your system
or at the google groups end ?? All your posts appear in my header pane
formatted roughly like:
=?iso-8859-1?q?Re:_character_=C2?=
I am using pan 0.14.2 btw, on Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r7
