It already does this for the "read" action. For the "list" action, |
| 9 |
behaviour is modeled on mail readers, most of which truncate titles |

Actually, we could loosen the requirements for news items in the |
| 13 |
gentoo repository (since the repository name is not displayed for |
| 14 |
these) and allow up to 56 characters in the title. |

On the other hand, shortening the title to be within the 44 char limit |
| 17 |
made them more concise and therefore was an improvement in most cases. |
