But if you use its use-external-editor feature it messes up those things when saving out to its temporary file. And it was written by a Japanese guy. I'll often fix it in changelogs by re-editing the changelog and doing a copy-n-paste from sylpheed's display window into the editor, which does work. All a bit of a pain though.
