But QWK's 25 char limit in the subject s cutting off my beautifully thought out
subjects! LOL
And yours seems to even cut them down further to about 20 chars. :(
Your subject line for something like:
FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 7
FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 6
FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 5
..would look all the same in your lists:
FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17
I dunno how you can accept that! :/
The "future" of longer subject line awaits you!

Indeed. I was attempting to try in on my XP. No go. :( No "future" for
16bit.
