yes. looking at the source of the page over at kernelnotes, i see
that the japanese characters yield a bogus html tag (a less than
followed by random chars). this messes up netscape 4.73. gnus/emacs
doesn't care and i would expect most sane mailers not to care either.

i've put an underline tag into the subject to see what happens over at
kernelnotes. i appologize for the lameness of this posting. i hope
it doesn't clobber people's mailers.
