Yes, of course!! Brad's original example was the Canadian newsgroup where
articles often include text from one article in English, with a reply
in French. Having a Lanuage header would restrict each article to one
specific language, and this would break down in the face of bilingual
postings. However, escape codes in the body seem to be kind of a problem
to me (writing from my adm3a terminal :-) - now what?
