Problem:
We want to show more than 80 characters in the message when reading it.
The message here refers to the Messages we can send when using the "Toolset Messaging system".
Those display up to 80 characters only, it seems

Solution:
The Excerpt you see in the in-outbox cutting to 80 characters is defined with

[wpv-post-excerpt length="80" more="..." format="noautop"]

in the View Loop where all the messages are displayed. We can't know which one it is on your install, but you can find it by navigating to the issue page with all messages and then check the "Edit with Toolset" WordPress Admin Bar menu for "Edit View: {view name}"

That will be the view to edit and change the excerpt length of messages in the overview of all messages

The Excerpt you see in the actual single message cutting to 80 characters is displayed thru the view

[wpv-view name="Related messages" message="[types field='first-message-id' raw='true'][/types]"]

in the Content Template applied to single Messages. You can again find this Content Template with the same process as for finding the View.

That View

[wpv-view name="Related messages" message="[types field='first-message-id' raw='true'][/types]"]

, holds again the

[wpv-post-excerpt length="80" more="..." format="noautop"]

.
This is what displays the message as you see it on the single post of the message.

You can amend that to fix it (for example use

[wpv-post-body view_template="None"]

instead)
