Sylpheed seems to add the Re: and thus cuts off the text at the beginning of the subject.  I don't see where the Re: can be disabled.  Personally, I don't like the addition of Re:

As per your question, I think we've seen enough. People who prefer to communicate in Hebrew would simply use the tools that handle it properly, such as systems that support FTNnntp+utf8

Wrt to the subject line, users would quickly learn to keep the subject line short.

So.. the fault is not FTN per se. FTN was built to support an English-speaking community. And as you have discovered, just supporting utf-8 is not enough espectially if the the requirement is to support languages that typically require writing/reading right-to-left.
