since when was there a restriction on the number of characters you can put in a message title?

did I miss that meeting?

do we not want to encourage people to create fun and inventive message titles instead of just "hi!" ?

why does it let you write a title as long as you like - but then arbitrarily cut it down once you have sent the email?

so you only find out your title is too long AFTER, repeat AFTER, once more for effect AFTER, you have sent it?

bad idea admin - sort it out

It has been like that for an age, sorry you didn't sign off on it

We'll ensure that in a future update the subject box restricts it to what the max allowed length is, that was an oversight

I'd appreciate it if you can make sure that you get my sign off before going ahead with any changes like this in the future

(that was a joke in case the smiley didnt give it away)

while we wait for the next update which will auto-restrict title length, how many characters are we restricted to?

Think maybe 20, but you can test by sending yourself a message. Let us know

maxlength="1" should be long enough for some of the messages we have had
