We must be subscribind to the gribs differently, mine are going out
120 hours same as always, and they appear to be using the new viewer.

This is my subscription text:

Sure, and you can do 6 hour intervals out to 384 for GFS or NOGAPS. I
have saildocs do that for me when I have internet mail. However, the
new viewfax file - get data - grib just has check boxes for 0,24,48
and 72. Also if you add the RAIN parameter to your saildocs request
it will max out the sailmail attachment restriction at about 72 hours,
too. Anyway, it is a pretty minor nit.

For example:
gfs:20N,50N,170W,110W|1,1|
00,06,12,18,24,30,36,48,72,96,120,144,168,192,216, 240,264,288,312,336,348,384|
PRESS,WIND,RAIN
produces about 150k of file which sailmail will reject but which is
smaller than the sat pics that viewfax will go grab for you.
