I had been thinking "My boss notified us that the meeting will be long." But what you're saying makes sense...

So would you say: Mi jefe nos avisó que la reunión de lunes fuera larga.

So, back to what I was getting at originally ... with "avisar" in the principal clause, the meaning will have to determine the use of indicative or subjunctive in the subordinate clause?
