Is anyone looking into splitting long article titles into two lines
so that Notesfiles will handle the longer titles from B-news?

It's kind of frustrating reading an article where a question is asked
in the article title (and not repeated in the article), and Notesfiles
lops off part of it.

I haved added a feature to notesfiles that displays titles longer
than the max length as the first line of the text.

Example:

Note 1
ricks		Title longer than notesfiles c         Date
(at ucbcad)

Subject:  Title longer than notesfiles can handle in the header

Text.....
......

I haved added the above and other features (such as automatic
notesgroup creation, the not (!net.jokes.q) feature (as in readnews)
and unsubscribe.  I am about to send my changes to the author.

A side effect of this "short-subject" problem is that replies from 
readnews to articles that have long subjects get lopped off and notesfile
subsequently does not associate the reply with the original (because
the subjects are too different).
