CentOS - Apr 2017 - email subject length issue

Hello all

I seem to be running into a subject length issue on email. Is there any way
to increase that ?

Thanks,

There needs to be more context. Where and how do you face the limit? 
Client-side or on the mail transport? The RFC defines a limit for mail 
headers and the subject is one of them. Would be very strange to hit 
that though.

Sure... Its local. I run this command:
echo "" | mail -s "Tornado Monday, 03/27/2017 at 20:27:02. The
Point
BB.OBSURGRH is in Alarm at PRI3 with a value of 63.4 %.Informational Text:
OB SURGERY HUMIDITY ALARM" email_test

where email_test is my local machine account.

The subject gets truncated:

you'll need to be a whole lot more specific.   I've seen emails with 
stupidly long subjects, one message sent to a list recently had the 
entire message body pasted onto the subject.

Where are you running into this issue, how is it manifesting itself, 
what software is involved (email client, email server, email list server?)

I see you're using gmail, are you sure this problem isn't specific to
gmail?
