We have a developer that receives notifications from a UNIX system.  
Notifications with short subject lines are received without any issue but 
notifications with longer subject lines are illegible as they show up as 
follows:

=?UTF-8?B?UGVvcGxlU29mdCBlcnJvciByZXBvcnQ6IEVycm9yOiBGaXJzdCBvcGVyYW5kIG9mIC4gaXMgTlVMTCwgc28gY2Fubm90IGFjY2VzcyBtZW1iZXIgTGVuLiAoMTgwLDIzNikgRlVOQ0xJQl9FWFRfQVBQLlJFU1VNRS5GaWVsZEZvcm11bGEgIE5hbWU6c2V0X3Jlc3VtZV9zdGVwICBQQ1BDOjEzNTUyICBTdGF0ZW1lbnQ6Mj...

Is there a way to expand the character limit in Outlook to allow a subject line 
that is longer than 255 characters?

Thanks,
