do this test: run evolution without LC_CTYPe, and it will write in the subject at

Cool. How do I get biditext not lo be loaded wit ha specific program? (konqueror,
mozilla, galleon etc?). Actually it seems that the only difference will be that visual 
sites will now
be logical and logical will be visual (instead of 8859-8 use 8859-8-i). But reality 
lughts at your face.

Seen that on xmms when run with LC_CTYPE, without it is OK.
