There is no setting per se, nor is there any limit on Subject: length per se. Mailman does manipulate Subject: headers in the process of adding the subject_prefix if any. This may result in a subject which is originally a single line being folded into multiple lines in accord with RFC 2822, but all Subject: headers sent by Mailman should conform to the RFC. Look at the raw message as sent by Mailman. If the Subject: header is not compliant with RFC 2822, then report that here. Otherwise, look at the user's MUA (email client). Note that if this only affects one or a few recipients of the message but not all recipients, it is almost certainly a user's MUA issue. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
