I've gotten into the habit of using subscripted variables, invoking the NotationNotation package and SymbolizeSymbolize. NowNow, I'd like to be able to write something like

In[1]:= Sum[a<sub>i<sub> ,{i,1,2}]
Out[1]:= a<sub>1<sub> + a<sub>2<sub>

but get

Out[1]:= 2 a<sub>i<sub>

I've tried RemoveSymbolize[myBoxes]RemoveSymbolize[myBoxes] to get rid of definitions, but it has no effect. II know that

In[2]:= Sum[Subscript[a,i],{i,1,2}]

works as I'd like and may have to do, but I'm curious if the subscripted variables entered using Ctrl+_Ctrl+_ can be made to work.
