Hello Apam,

We seem to have short subject lines when posting online on the BBS. Is it possible at some point that we can enter longer subject lines?

Hello Apam,

We seem to have short subject lines when posting online on the BBS.
Is it possible at some point that we can enter longer subject
lines?

It's possible I suppose. How long do you want it?

I also got asked today to add deleting support, that seems to have
opened up a can of worms in the message base stuff.

I would say just take what the user gives you. There may be a standard
with regard to the subject line but I don't recall. If so we'll want to
stick with that.

If you ever see a can of worms by all means.. step back a bit.

IIRC, JAM allows 100 chars. Fido's upper limit is 72, it's 80 chars minus "Subject " (8 chars).
