Date: 15-NOV-1994 12:22:42 +0100 From: TAUPIN AT rsovax DOT lps DOT u-psud DOT fr Subj: Ununderstandable Subject To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Subject: my subject in mail To all people who complaint: below is the text of a message I sent from my faulty VAX (with Subj: instead of Subject:) to another account on a recent UNIX HP_UX HP9000. The Subj: clearly appears in the TOC of the mail, and in the text of the mail I show below. Thus, this is some kind of intolerance by SOME (not all) mail receivers which refuse to understand the up-to-date Subject: as well as the old fashioned Subj:. In otgher words, "wenn ich auf Deutsch screibe", you may say: he is silly not to write in american English, and I'm also entitled to say" you are silly not to be able to read german (same for French, Latine and ancient Greek).
