Hello Andrew,
On Tue, 1 May 2001, at 22:56:36 (your local time),

First, sorry for replying too late, but I don't see other replies.

Yes, you can freely translate this, it won't be any violation of RFC. Only
important are parts in the message header, which you can't translate, of course,
something like this:
<Confirm Reading>
X-Confirm-Reading-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Disposition-Notification-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
</Confirm Reading>
<Confirm Receipt>
Return-Receipt-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
</Confirm Receipt>
So, you can translate the subject line, but it won't be great solution, since:
1) Cyrillic letters are not very well welcome around the globe. I know for my
country; Serbian original and official alphabet is also Cyrillic, but in usual
typing and e-mail and news we use Latin version (exactly the same as Croatian
and/or Slovenian)... even many of Serbs in and out of country use US-ASCII ;)
2) Ensure that you supply appropriate encoding (Unicode doesn't work here!). For
my country Cyrillic message would be 8-bit message with Win-1251 (it should be
ISO-8859-5, but RITLabs failed here), and for Russia, I guess it would be
KOI8-R.
For displaying in Cyrillic, something like this:
����ż �. ��������,
���������� ��������,
������ ��Ӽ����
������ ��������,
��������� �������
etc...
... I must use Win1251 or KOI8 to encode it.
3) Header should be 7-bit "clean" always. It is possible, of course, to enable
8-bit letters in header using TB!'s options, but, if we ALL want to be
"RFC-complient", the message's header then should be MIME. And, BTW, it is also
possible in Bat!.
So, the simple conclusion is: you can translate this subject line, but I do not
recommend it to you. But, it doesn't matter if you write msgs only in Russian.
Then you'll include original subject anyway.
Hope this helps.
P.S.
Speaking about LNG, if you didn't, you can add now ID 24 to your LNG Util, I
finished my work (Serbian language). :o)
