I agree with your reading of RFC 5322 that there is no standards-based limit to a display name. As for a practial limit ... good question! I would guess that anything over a kilobyte would be asking for trouble. I don't think there's any easy way to predict what the practical limit would be, though. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
