I'm using a QT combination to replace german national characters (Umlaute)
in the subject. The QT is a "replace" function, and the parameters for that
function (the actual characters to replace, ä to ae, ü to ue, etc. etc.) is
passed in the comment header.

Its a rather old QT (someone on TBUDL gave it to me ages ago, I think it
was Dan Grunberg). I have to rewrite it to use custom (%_something style)
macros one day.

Some listmailers (that tag the subject) will add the list tag over & over
again and can't remove multiple occurencies of "Re:" if the subject is
encoded because it contains national characters - to avoid these problems,
I added the replace function to my signature.

Now, this function is not really required for english messages of course...
so I simply don't use that QT in my english signature QT anymore... it was
that simple, oh my... :-)
