This came up just in the last week or two or three. George talked about
such subjects being readable in one version of Juno or something like
that.


I reported having seen that beginning in sender headings, primarily from
people who are overseas. I don't recall it, though, from list members in
England or Australia, but some in Finland, as well as one person from the
U.S. Is your friend overseas?
