I've partially worked this out. In mew-scan.el there is a function
called mew-summary-scan-body. This calls a perl script imls, which
scans a mail folder an prints out the summary. It take a -f option,
which defines the format, by default its:

	"%5n %m%d %-14A %-18S %b"

I changed it to:

	"%5n %m%d %-14A %-40S %b"

And it gave a longer subject when run on the command line. In
mew-summary-scan-body, it adds mew-prog-imls-arg-list to the list of
args to pass to imls. I tried:

(setq mew-prog-imls-arg-list (list "-f \"%5n %m%d %-14A %-40S %b\""))

in my .emacs file, but then I get an error:

Listing +sysadm/dhcpd ...
List error: must specify just one folder.

Which seems to come from: 

	mew-summary-scan-sentinel

Actuall, its imls that is complaining about 

List error: must specify just one folder.

So I guess the args that mew-summary-scan-body is passing imls are
wrong. I know I'm close, but I have to go now. Maybe this will help.

I'll take another whack at it later...

I'd like to know that as well.

One last thing, in mail from tlug, mew always complains:

Mail header "From owner..." doesn't conform to RFC 822. skipping...
