Isn't it wonderful?  Germans require standards compliance in all
cases.  I used to get flamed for the following From line because it
didn't contain a real name part:

    From: Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE

Sometimes, I cannot understand my own nation :-/

They suggested that I use `ss' rather than `=DF' in my name to make
header encoding unnecessary.  But my name is Gro=DFjohann.  Some Germans
are pronouncing my name wrongly because they think it is Grossjohann
:-(  And I ask you what would be the sense in having the following
>>From line?

    From: Kai Grossjohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE>

I'd really like to find a way to use =DF in my name in de.ALL.

A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
