Hmmmmm, well I only fairly recently switched to using QWKE (a
config choice on the SBBS QWK options).  Before I changed that
(from regular QWK), I was seeing truncated subject lines and echo
area names.  So I think you have to enable QWKE in your packet
configuration on SBBS to get those features.  This was using the
MultiMail offline reader for viewing.
