I think its an 8 character field so 99999999 is the largest amount of time.
Also 99999999/86400 is over 3 years so I don't think your boss will miss an
email.  Iv'e not known windows to stay up that long so I think you are safe
to assume this is a safe bet.  I will test the overnight timeout as well on
my machine at home and let you know the outcome.

I use both the Linux version and the Windows version.  The 8*9 test was
performed on Windows XP with Thunderbird 1.0.2

Thanks
