That's a bug.
It had to do with the subject being quite long.
I think I've fixed it now.

Yes. I'll see what I can do there.
It's a bit complicated to fix it.

Maybe.

I'll ask Junko about that.

Sounds like a bit too much work.  smile
I've got 7 Mbit/sec cable, so I guess I'm not
very sensitive to this. I could change "25" to
something smaller, but back when I had 56K dial-up,
we designed it to output the messages in discrete 
tables of 5, so even with a slow connection, 
your browser should display the first set 
of 5 messages as soon as it receives them.
While you are browsing those, the next set of 5 
should arrive etc.
