} As a practical matter, you might find yourself explaining a lot when you do

Hal is correct here, but I would like to add one detail that I forgot in
my original note.  The limit used to be by number of lines only.  Some
mailers do not insert linends except between paragraphs, and that makes
a long line of up to 1024 characters be counted as one line.

Specifying K or M gets around this.
