This is per RFC822 (it's possible that it was extended in a later RFC, but I'm not
aware of an extention to it). That's a per-line limit, so a 1200 character line isn't
allowed, but it would be perfectly fine to split that into 3 lines (just so long as
the 2nd and 3rd lines start with a space or a tab).

Some will split the line after each recipient, like this:
To: Recipient 1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Recipient 2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Recipient 3 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
That's nice, as humans can read it much more easily. But, other programs will split
it after X characters (say, every 500 characters).
