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

[Tracy Carcione]

Thanks, I'll give that a try.  The screen reader version is very
accessible, except for the short subjects, but I'll check out the
alternative and decide which I like best.
I suspect Mika is right about Microsoft not updating the screen reader
model lately.

>> Check settings & take out columns you don't use. That should add length.
