	RFC#2822
	2.1.1. Line Length Limits

	There are two limits that this standard places on the number of
	characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than
	998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding
	the CRLF.

	The 998 character limit is due to limitations in many implementations
	which send, receive, or store Internet Message Format messages that
	simply cannot handle more than 998 characters on a line. Receiving
	implementations would do well to handle an arbitrarily large number
	of characters in a line for robustness sake. However, there are so
	many implementations which (in compliance with the transport
	requirements of [RFC2821]) do not accept messages containing more
	than 1000 character including the CR and LF per line, it is important
	for implementations not to create such messages.

	The more conservative 78 character recommendation is to accommodate
	the many implementations of user interfaces that display these
	messages which may truncate, or disastrously wrap, the display of
	more than 78 characters per line, in spite of the fact that such
	implementations are non-conformant to the intent of this specification
	(and that of [RFC2821] if they actually cause information to be lost).
	Again, even though this limitation is put on messages, it is encumbant
	upon implementations which display messages to handle an arbitrarily
	large number of characters in a line (certainly at least up to the 998
	character limit) for the sake of robustness.
