Well they would have to put in detection for the version of that string
which fits all other languages as well, not just the language that the
writer is posting in. That is the hard part. You can see this on postings to
this list, specifically from people in European countries. Also sometimes it
wants to check for fw:, fwd: and again variations from other languages.
