That's no anomaly--it's the RFC. From RFC 2821: > The maximum total length of a text line including the <CRLF> is 1000 > characters (not counting the leading dot duplicated for > transparency). This number may be increased by the use of SMTP > Service Extensions. So...Imail is under no obligation to receive longer line lengths, though the RFCs do suggest elsewhere that longer line lengths be allowed "for robustness." What's happening is that Yahoo is pushing its output over the limit, and other MTAs are cooperating. It's easy to do that when writing HTML, since one starts to think that <CRLF> is not interpreted. -Sandy ______________________________________________________________________ The HKSI-IMail Admin List is hosted by........
