78? That's enough to allow one reply before it starts
wrapping! That should your maximum (see RFC2882 1.2.2:
   "Each line of characters MUST be no more than
    998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than
    78 characters, excluding the CRLF.)"

RFC1855 (Netiquette guidelines) offers:
    "Limit line length to fewer than 65 characters and end a line
     with a carriage return."

Which is about right, sez I.

Anyway, as Dan notes, you don't seem to have anything set!
(unless it's 998, and you haven't hit it yet)

...have we bored enough people yet?
