Subject: "Memo" Fields

I have a database of e-mail messages, the body of which is currently a
"memo" field.  I want to convert these to MySQL (or to create a new one in
MySQL).

Is the equivalent of a memo field in MySQL a varchar of x length?  If so how
long do you make the field so that it does not truncate the end of a
message?
