I see no difference in the message subject in question. I first installed Tamil fonts on my linux system so the text will render using a proper font. I can see no difference. However, since I know nothing of Tamil and not trusting that my eye can accurately determine any differences, I extracted the text from the index file and the message file and did a cmp on them: no difference. I.e. I did a byte-for-byte comparison of the subject text and there is no difference. Could you elaborate more on what difference you are actually seeing? Could the problem be due to how your browser/display is configured? Do you have the proper fonts installed? If you can provide a message the generates a byte-for-byte difference for the same subject text, I can examine further. --ewh
