Subj: Ununderstandable Subject

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).
