Are we any closer to fixing the mail servers do they don't truncate
multi-line subjects, e.g.?
Re: [PATCHES] [BUGS] BUG #2846: inconsistent and confusing
My mail reader, elm, does long subject wrapping on replies, but our mail
software is truncating it.

You shouldn't have to fix that. RFC 2822 is pretty clear that the
limits are 78 characters per line, which should be folded to a
maximum of a total character length of 998. AFAIK both Postfix and
Sendmail do this correctly.

Users never remark, "Wow, this software may be buggy and hard
to use, but at least there is a lot of code underneath."

We don't use mailman, we use some obscure m2 thing.
