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).
