I prefer to do this part like this:
$from = substr($from, 0, $CONFIG{'MAX_COL_LEN'}-3) . "..."
if (length($from)>$CONFIG{'MAX_COL_LEN'});
$subject = substr($subject, 0, $CONFIG{'MAX_COL_LEN'}-3) . "..."
if (length($subject)>$CONFIG{'MAX_COL_LEN'});
This makes it so that the maximum length of the column is actually
$CONFIG{MAX_COL_LEN} characters. It's a minor detail, but if you're
going to bother to fix it, you may as well fix it properly. :)
