[ I didn't the above bug report appear on freeciv-dev.  Do the mailing
lists still have the problem of treating messages with subjects starting 
with "help" as not real posts but requests for mailing list help? ]

Regarding the above report, I can just say that on my system it works 
fine (Debian slink plus selected parts of potato, kernel 2.0.36, 
libgtk 1.2.3, XFree86 3.3.2.3a, 800x600 24 bpp), so I guess it may 
be a problem with installed fonts?
