   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.  This was using the    
   MultiMail offline reader for viewing.
