 AA> But QWK's 25 char limit in the subject s cutting off my beautifully
 AA> thought out  subjects! LOL

 AA> And yours seems to even cut them down further to about 20 chars.   :(

 AA> Your subject line for something like:
 AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 7
 AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 6
 AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 5

 AA> ..would look all the same in your lists:
 AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17

 AA> I dunno how you can accept that! :/

 AA> The "future" of longer subject line awaits you!

     The Bluewave standard accepts long titles and much more useful
     information than QWK and QWKE.  It is a pity that the developers
     insist on poor QWK or a little better QWKE instead of adopting a
     much higher standard like Bluewave.

 
 AA>> .. I had a little trouble

 AA> Indeed.  I was attempting to try in on my XP.   No go.  :(   No
 AA> "future" for  16bit.

     With the advancement of emulators, 16bits will never die. :-)
