Like Martijn's MUA for example? Your message has a truncated subject, at least the copy I got from the list (I was not in Cc: so I didn't get the original. Nevermind that I installed the formail trick for supressing duplicates so I would have gotten only a single copy anyway ...) But see the archives: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2006-09/msg00561.php You'll see that your message's subject has been truncated. But see Michelle's: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2006-09/msg00528.php it's not truncated. Why the difference? Not sure. I downloaded the archives' mbox, and I see there that Michelle's subject appears as: Subject: OK, this is a Test =?iso-8859-1?Q?f=FCr_a_?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?Subject_containing_one_non_ASCII_character_ans_some_more_?= =?iso-8859-1?B?bGlrZSDp4fPo4PL05yBbV0FTOiBSZTogW0dFTkVSQUxdIFRoaXMgaXMg?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?a_Reply_to_the_message_=22Re=3A_Majordomo_drops_multi-line?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?_Subject=3A=22_and_I_produce_a_Subject_lomger_then_80_char?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?acters_and_sinc?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?e?= the OP is using mutt like me, whats going on here?] Your message, on the other hand, has this on the archives: Subject: Re: OK, this is =?iso-8859-1?Q?a?= Why didn't it truncate Michelle's but did truncate yours? FYI, I've seen this on my messages (mutt), yours (also mutt), and Bruce's (elm). I find it strange that Michelle's mutt didn't do the same. Maybe it's not Majordomo at all, but I haven't seen it anywhere else (for example on lists I am that are managed with Mailman, on spanish, carrying lots of non-ASCII chars in subjects, I don't think I've ever seen a truncated subject). -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
