) [patch to edit "Subject:" headers in inews]

I am not entirely convinced that it is polite for the transport agent
to go in and edit the user-supplied subject of his message.

It may be appropriate for specific user agents to modify the subject
DISPLAY, but this action should be based on the user's preference
and should in no wise be implemented at the transport level.  The
only effect should be on the display presented by the user agent to
the user.
