Don't use non-us-ascii characters in your headers. It breaks
too much news software and violates the RFCs.

For one thing, they make it impossible to examine your posting
history in the Usenet Archives at:

http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search

For another, there's no point in it: We don't know how those
weird characters are pronounced anyway, and they make you look
like a phukwitted troll trying to pretend he's a foreigner. Nor
do we have those characters on our keyboards. Duh.

I'm very good at line editing, from vi to ed to sed to awk
to bash, but I don't people who violate the RFCs.

And make it impossible to search examine their posting histories.
