Sure, here you go.  Nothing in /var/tmp but I have an editor backup file --
without my typed part but should be good enough.

RFC 821:
# The maximum total length of a text line including the <CRLF> is 1000
# characters (but not counting the leading dot duplicated for transparency).

Some MTAs are said to have a bit shorter limits, such as 990 bytes.

RFC 2822:
#2.1.1. Line Length Limits
#
#   There are two limits that this standard places on the number of
#   characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than
#   998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding
#   the CRLF.
#
#   The 998 character limit is due to limitations in many implementations
#   which send, receive, or store Internet Message Format messages that
#   simply cannot handle more than 998 characters on a line. Receiving
#   implementations would do well to handle an arbitrarily large number
#   of characters in a line for robustness sake. However, there are so
#   many implementations which (in compliance with the transport
#   requirements of [RFC2821]) do not accept messages containing more
#   than 1000 character including the CR and LF per line, it is important
#   for implementations not to create such messages.

(1000 including \r\n = 998 excluding them)


Meow!
