RSS_ABSTRACT_WORDS

This configuration variable defines the maximum and minimum number of words used for implicit RSS abstracts. A setting of RSS_ABSTRACT_WORDS=0 disables implicit RSS abstracts. When creating the abstracts, LISTSERV stops at the first paragraph boundary after which it has collected at least the minimum number of words, adding an ellipsis if there is more text. If the message has an explicit abstract defined by <abstract></abstract> tags, the maximum and minimum parameters are ignored and the explicit abstract is used.

RSS_ABSTRACT_WORDS=500 250

The default value is a maximum of 100 words and a minimum of 50.
