Partly P: Diacritical signs

Not really. Though I don't like the way you sounded, I switched, in order
to improve the archives' readibility, to 'plain text' in mid December 
(> mail: "re-entry") and have not posted 'rich text' ever since. Yet when
I visited the archives today, I saw that the subject lines still don't
appear the way they should (though I strongly doubt that there are, like 
you write, "many people" who get it like that in their mailboxes). So it's 
not (only) about 'plain text/rich text'. Regarding the subject line, there
must be another technical problem. See, for example, my two mails from 
2/2/09. Or Otto's posting from 1/7/09. Always when an "Umlaut" (ä; ö; ü)
appears in the subject line, the archive is producing Sonderzeichen. Or,
like on 1/24/09, it swallows the whole line and leaves a blank space. I 
guess avoiding diacritical signs in the subject line can solve that problem.
But please don't tell bs à la "diacritical signs can only be rendered by 
rich text". It's not true (and you probably know this). The archive's 
technical dis/abilities are a relic from the electronical stoneage.
