Hmmmmm, well I only fairly recently switched to using QWKE (a 
config choice on the SBBS QWK options).  Before I changed that 
(from regular QWK), I was seeing truncated subject lines and echo 
area names.  So I think you have to enable QWKE in your packet 
configuration on SBBS to get those features.  This was using the 
MultiMail offline reader for viewing.
