How can I prevent emacs from truncating the strings it displays in the mode line?
Am fairly sure it didn't use to do this. Is really annoying when using edebug
and am unable to see a complete string (the important part is being truncated).

What do you want it to do instead? The mode line must be a single
line.

Actually, it always did. (Assuming you do mean mode line, not the
echo area...)

It is possible to customize mode line and thus see more.
Please see description for variable `mode-line-format'
Then you can make it so to see what you wish.

Am thinking my ISP's spam filter is rejecting emails from this group.
The solution I was given was to set edebug-print-length to nil (or some
reasonable length, the default 50 is rather short).
