I would be surprised if thry didn't. RFCs prohibit line length greater than 998 characters. <quote> 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. </quote> -- Jerry ✌ [email protected] Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
