Logically, the  Swedish equivalent of  "Subject:" is "Amne:", and  in the
"Amne:" field these clever programmers would be welcome to use "Sv:". But
in fact they use "Subject:" so  that their software can interoperate with
foreign products. When  displaying the message, they put  the contents of
"Subject:" in a field or column  called "Amne". This is exactly what they
should be  doing for "Re:"  and "Sv:".  When Svensson participates  in an
international (English)  list hosted  in Turkey,  "Sv:" is  guaranteed to
break  threads in  just  about everyone's  mail program  and  in the  web
interface...
