Thorsten's original subject for this thread:

"[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for policy or redesign"

Is actually boken into two lines, the second prepended with a '^H' tab
character, as in:

line1>[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for policy or
line2>    redesign

When viewing the original message source via the OutlookExpress(OE) File >>
Properties >> Details >> Message Source.

Any replies created using OE for a message with a subject containing '^H'
follow this pattern:

line1>[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for policy or
line2>    redesign

reply:

line1>[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for policy
line2>    orredesign

reply:

line1>[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for
line2>    policyorredesign

I meant to say that the tab was replaced by equivalent spaces rather than
the explict '^H' tab character. I created text in an editor " test^Htest ",
and pasted it into the subject line in OutlookExpress(OE), to see if this
might be the cause of the problem.
