>Description:
When PRs are submitted by e-mail, GNATS truncates the subject field after 64 characters and puts the rest of the subject into the "Unformatted" field. 64 characters might seem a sensible limit, but it needs to be documented. It might also create problems for messages submitted in MIME format, with iso-xxx strings embedded in the subject. The iso strings lengthen the subject considerably, and 64 characters might be a too low a limit.

Messages with long subject also confude the current Gnatsweb. See other PR.
