RE: THIS IS THE SUBJECT LINE - cut it short

You have to delete a few letters from the subject line (see above).

Like this one!!

Annoying really - especially if the OP has been allowed to post a title that long.

RE:

More often than not when I get that message the O/P's subject is absolutely nowhere near the length quoted. For a start the subject of this topic is apparently 86 characters now.  It's not, not even with 'RE:' tagged on at the start, it's 72.

RE: RE:

Getting this message, I usually just try a second time, sometimes third time. More often than not, it just passes without changing anything.

(by the way: this is in contradiction with Einstein's definition of madness: doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results... But hey, it works!)

lol that's what happens when you paste it into MS Word and look at the wrong statistic.  On this occasion I sit corrected, but there have been  many times where it's gave a ridiculous length when there have only been a handful of words in the subject line

RE: RE:

The system seems to duplicate the heading rather than leave it alone, or simply add 're'.  V annoying!
