I don't know if this has been covered or is well known, but the
Berkeley mail program will silently truncate all lines longer than
512 characters.

A quick check revealed that the problem was not in /bin/mail since
this is perfectly capable of mailing long lines. /usr/ucb/mail on
the other hand just truncates any lines of excessive length.

Perhaps I shouldn't have files with such long lines, but then
again, perhaps I require long lines.
