Hello all: Minor bug in 1.64 to report. I can't enter more than 80 chars in a _Subject:_ line. Also, when I receive a Usenet message, it truncates the _Subject:_ line to the first 80 chars. I only noticed it because a very long subject line was chopped in a strange place. Thought you should be aware.

Thought you >should be aware. Not a bug. It's a 'feature.' :-) Why in the world would anybody want a subject line > 80 chars anyway? Wouldn't it be simpler just to put the message IN the mail instead of on the subject line? -- root@dogear.spk.wa.us "Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide, Bob Kirkpatrick But I'm not gonna let it bother me Dog Ear'd Systems of Spokane, WA tonight." --ars
