SUMMARY

In a Bulletin Board Service (BBS) window, a subject in the message list has a limit of 32 characters.

MORE INFORMATION

When you enter a BBS, the BBS window contains a list of recently posted messages or files. In that list, the first field of each posted message or file is the subject, followed by fields that contain the author, the size, and the date. You can resize these fields by dragging the field headers.

If the subject is not completely shown and you resize the header to increase the field size, the subject may still be incomplete because of the 32-character limit for subjects in the BBS window. When you open a message to read it, you will be able to see the message's entire subject.
