A couple weeks back, I saw some references to a patch from Tokio Kikuchi for changing the handling of Subjects, and wonder if that would be relevant here. But my impression was that that was just for digests. The problem that NOW Coordinator and I are having is particular to nondigest messages -- not that it can't happen in digests, but it doesn't matter there the same way. It's problematic just when the client gives a single-line display in an overview or mailbox-summary window, and the message Subject appears truncated to the [list tag].

When we send out a message with a long subject using Mailman, in some mailers the subject wraps on to a second line (thus invisible in the subject index of mailers like Eudora).Our list recipients who use pine or IMHO (a webmail client) as their client don't see this odd newline problem, but those with Eudora do. From looking at my mailbox as plain text, I'm pretty sure the line break is in there, and the clients that don't have a problem with it are fixing things up nicely.

We have some cases where one list is subscribed to another, so both insert their tags. In such cases the unwanted newline usually comes after the second tag (which was the first one inserted). For instance:It wraps right after the list name, ie: [now-test-list] Here is our too long message subject right herebut is fine with shorter ones: [now-test--list] Shorter subject here Ideas?
Subject: [Mentors] [Trainees]
Plans for the upcoming Spring Training sessions beginning in March
I've checked that the list name tag doesn't contain a stray newline! (Besides, then the bad break would show up with shorter Subjects.) Also I've tried sending messages through with Subject lines like that (but on one line), including the list tags, and they come through okay. So it seems to be connected with the listname tag insertion, and not a matter of general wrapping being done on Subect lines.
And thanks from me too,Thanks.
