[rt-devel] [BUG] Email bounces when subject > 200 bytes

[Kouprie, Robbert]

But all other schema's also use fixed varchar's. So truncation is definately
needed, I'd say.
So, to start somewhere, may I vote for inclusion of my original patch for
the case where Tickets.Subject overflows?

There's no index on tickets.subject. 8-)  But I see your point,
users.name is such a case.

Last time I looked at the PostgreSQL code, VARCHAR was implemented as
TEXT plus length checking.  Shall I recheck?

(Unfortunately, I don't have an RT3 instance sufficiently large for
benchmarking.)
