It's really impressive how that works.              Hmmmmm, well I only fairly recently switched to using QWKE (a        config choice on the SBBS QWK options). Before I changed that        (from regular QWK), I was seeing truncated subject lines and echo        area names. So I think you have to enable QWKE in your packet        configuration on SBBS to get those features.
