Sometimes the subject lines distort and misform the
inbox table.

Could we have an option in the preferences menu to
trim long subject lines to a user specified amount?

It could be done with substr($subject, 0, $subj_len)
where $subject is the subject and $subj_len is the
optional amount of characters to truncate the string
to.

The title attribute in the anchor tag could then be
used to show the full subject when the user hovers
over it. e.g.:
<a href="link_to_show_message"
title="full_subject">Shortened subject ...</a>

    Thanks for the patch, it's fixed in CVS version.
    I found 55 chars to be a good value to trim subjects.
