Good to avoid this problem, but I wonder if we should check the size and re-run the command if too long? That way we can keep names on the thread when it is possible. Also, why is there a limit on CC - is that a limitation described in the RFC, or just certain mailers? Can we get around it by specifying multiple Cc tags?
