Hm.  I think I must be looking at something else here or something, or
just misunderstanding how that variable is supposed to work.  :-)

I mean, his subject header was 54 characters, so wasn't it just chopped
at 30 characters, leaving lots of room for the rest of the stuff in the
mode line?  Could you post images of the mode line to let me know what
it looks like for you with the two settings?
