Huh, but the MUA auto-unfolds it for view. Both mutt and Elm do that fine -- the folding and unfolding. I would think exmh is pretty thoroughly broken if it didn't. We can do an experiment and send you a Cc'ed message through the list and a copy to you directly. The direct copy should have the full subject, and the list one would be truncated. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
