It truncates it now.  Back then, most of the BBSes I used it with only
allowed subjects of 24-30 characters even when you were posting directly
on the boards.  I only remember seeing BBSes that allowed longer after it
became popular for BBSes to carry Usenet, which allowed subjects long
enough for a poster to include their whole message in them.  ;)
