Can you please elaborate on what you mean by being on the safe
side in this context?  What problems could potentially arise from
returning the subject in full length?

Considering my above question and me not knowing why/where this
limit comes from, if there’s a legitimate reason to truncate the
subject then so be it.  But if not, I’d probably be in favour of
changing the default to lift the limit.

Or at the very least mentioning `org-email-link-description-format'
in the docstring for `org-store-link' and potentially other functions
affected by the setting.

just my 2¢.
