That's a good point but does it make the same sense
for other languages which have been using ligatures
on computers the whole time. English can use them but
on computers traditionally don't. Also does the font

Sorry in Yahoo Mail I always hit 'reply all' since
sometimes abiword-dev is in the CC box and I'm trying
to do everything quickly because I'm paying $3 to $5
an hour to be here and don't always remember to
manually edit the To and CC fields.
