In this case it is obviouly not true. I only have problems with a
_limited_ number of mailersvers. And something to also note is that
the header field in question is a comment field.

I will at least understand that I don't know how to spell his name.
When I have to use "Bjonnes" instead of "Bj�nnes" you will have no
clue that "Bjonnes" is _not_ my name.

What has spelling of names to do with language?
