The I'd suggest that you should make the lines just short of 256 bytes, as there is a lot of, particularly PC, software out there which can't cope with continued References lines, but some software commonly used with Demon starts breaking when the lines reach about 256 bytes. The lowest limit I am aware of in any relevant RFC is 512 bytes, but see the response to my posting in another branch of this thread. -- David Woolley, London, England david@djwhome.demon.co.uk
