Sylpheed seems to add the Re: and thus cuts off the text at the beginning of
the subject.  I don't see where the Re: can be disabled.  Personally, I don't
like the addition of Re:

As per your question, I think we've seen enough. People who prefer to
communicate in Hebrew would simply use the tools that handle it properly, such
as systems that support FTN<->nntp+utf8

Wrt to the subject line, users would quickly learn to keep the subject line
short.

So.. the fault is not FTN per se. FTN was built to support an English-speaking
community. And as you have discovered, just supporting utf-8 is not enough
espectially if the the requirement is to support languages that typically
require writing/reading right-to-left.
