I used other versions of sendmail/rmail, and they did limit the length
of the rmail commands going to the remote system to 510, regardless of
my MaxRMailLen setting. Therefore, my software can prevent _my_
MaxRMailLen setting from working on the _remote_ system. For a big
MaxRMailLen setting to be effective, it is necessary, but not
sufficient, that the Amiga software actually create outgoing rmail
commands that are that length. If some other factor limits the actual
length to less than my MaxRMailLen setting, then it's perfectly
correct to say that my MaxRMailLen setting is not effective.
