Is there a way to expand that? > A "Subject:" line is just a structured text line in the message body and MTAs (e.g., sendmail) don't do anything differently with it than any other line in a message body. The max length is 998 "characters". I suspect that your MUA or more likely procmail is where the truncation is taking place. I just did: /bin/mailx -s"... 200+ character subject ..." on a C6/sendmail machine and it worked fine.
