Hello Thomas,

in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] was written:

I've just send a test message to my self, containing a 200 characters
subject line. No crash.
I sent an additional test message with a '11 x 20 chars' subject line, so
simulate the white space characters in subject: no crash.


There's _no_ such limit in RFC-(2)822 that is near 150+ characters, the
only limit given is: 999 characters, and a recommendation to have lines no
longer than 78 or 80 characters (means: folding long header lines).

I can't imagine why this 'long line' would make TB! crash, but if James
could 'conserve' this mail in it's original state I'd be interested in
inspecting it and it's repercussions on The Bat! by myself.
