I think the main problem is if this is indeed two separate steps. As
soon as it becomes additional work, and probably even the need to
change tools and interfaces, it becomes a pain and people will stop
doing it. That's how it works with me, at least.

I have asked before if we could get patchwork to acto on X- mail
headers - then it would be sufficient to add a line

X-PATCHWORK-STATUS: Changes Reuested

or similar.

I for myself have added a button to my MUA which automatically
locates the current message in PW and changes it's state. This helps
a lot. I have no ide if other MUAs (like Thunderbird, for example)
allow for similar extensions.

This is a known problem. It is typical for problems with UTF encoding
issues. This should be solved by now after we changed all to UTF.

Best regards,
