I don't know about "[despammed]", but "SV" is common in Sweden,
ever since some stupid translator thought "Re" meant "reply"
and translated it into "svar" --> "SV" instead of "Ang.", (which
doesn't work much better on an international list) I've learned
my lesson, but apparently there is some other Swede(s) on this
list who hasn't yet.

Oh! Now I see who the culprit is. It's Micke. Hey, Micke, could
you remove the "SV" and those six spaces in your subjects?

I can only agree with you, Arthaey. Please fix the subjects
before sending mail! (I hope I don't put my foot in my mouth
here.)
