Here is a test-message, which was sent to me by my friend to my e-mail
account in a unix-machine. Here in the subject-line is a (commented) line
of scandinavian letters.

The message subject line should be:

'Re: Tämä on ääkköstesti'

In my opinion the problem is with the character settings of his e-mail
program.

But I'm not sure, because it is possible (?) that the hypermail
www-page might as well give a wrong instruction to his e-mail program,
what to do with the subject-line.

The message was generated that way that my friend first sent a message to
hypermail with a subject line:

'Tämä on ääkköstesti'

This went trought without any problems. But when he commented it the
problem appeared.
