The format of the listing is given by the attach_format configuration
variable. The default for this includes a fixed-width entry for the
description (which is the e-mail subject) of "%.40d".

You can remove the .40 to allow the subject to be any length, but  if
the subject is very long, it can push the mimetype, encoding and size
information off the side of the screen. The reason this isn't a problem
with the main mailbox index is that the subject is the last thing on the
line, and so is simply truncated. You might be able to find a completely
different attach_format setup that you like better which also has the
description at the end of the line.
