> From RFC-2822 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html):

"2.1.1. Line Length Limits

   There are two limits that this standard places on the number of
   characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than
   998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding
   the CRLF."

i.e. not 70 as I said but 78.
