In today's fido, not a lot of attention is paid to subject lines anyhow.
They last forever, no matter what the subject is. Plus, in tonight's
QWK packet for this echo, every subject line except yours was well under
25 characters. I.e. most people are not bothered by the limitation.
AA> And yours seems to even cut them down further to about 20 chars. :(
I don't think so.
AA> Your subject line for something like:
AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 7
AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 6
AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 5
AA> ..would look all the same in your lists:

True.
AA> I dunno how you can accept that! :/
I do not have a lot of choice. It is just one of those things that QWK
users have to bear.
