| 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.
