[nfbcs] Follow-up: Increasing subject shown in web email

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

I can access O W A here at work.  The truncated subject lines seem to be a consequence of the choice for screen reader compatibility.  Go to Options, Accessibility, and uncheck the box about screen readers and visual impairments, then press the Save button on that page, log off and back on.  You'll have a different view of your mail.  Mine was set up with multiple tables, each representing a day or a week of messages.  You'll have to determine which view is better for you.  And I don't know what else changes when you uncheck the screen reader compatibility option.

The subject is on a line by itself, so columns don't come into it.  I'll try maximizing, and see if that helps.
Thanks.
