MSOE is always quirky. In German for example, subjects to replies are prefixed with "AW:" rather than "Re:", supposedly to stand for "Antwort" (reply). Too bad that "Re" is not an abbreviation of "reply" but Latin "res".

Language specificity hardly constitutes a quirk in my book. There are lots of reasons to dis MSOE, but this is not one of them. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
