Reassigned to jeremy 
for ownership 
(to coordinate support from chris toward resolution)

Please verify this has been resolved, 
then close issue. 

BTW ... 
you may need to follow-up with shane, 
as this seems to relate to the set-up of the newsgroup bridge.

Shane,

Is this still an issue?

Yes, it is still not working the way Michelle would like
for it to work.

See this for example:
http://xml.openoffice.org/xml-cvs/

Notice the "ADDED" cvs messages have a full subject line, but
the "MODIFIED" messages don't.  This is controled by the way
the cvs to mailing list code parses the changes and outputs
the email message.
 
IMHO, fixing this would be a feature.  It is working as designed, but
it could be improved.  FWIW, the latest SC instantiation works
the same way.

Jermemy you should take this feature to Chris, and get it on the SC roadmap.

The fact that Michelle is seeing the subject truncation in here news reader
is just conincidence..the same data is viewable through the mailing
list archives....so don't confuse the facts that this happens with
all cvs modified message whethere they are viewed via newsgroups or not.

If you have further questions let me know. Shane
