I'm not going to wind this one up again! but the "solution" is breaking the
way Mr and Mrs Average expect to use a newsreader, and we have allready
seen that some (ignorant?) admins filter out messages starting with "Re:"
alike prefixes. [ yes I know that it's translations from Latin into some
local language, but if people want to start a subject with Xy: it should be
OK ... and so I was confirmed earlier ].

Sad that no-one could come with a solution instead of a hack when this was
done!
