Well, then the question is if we enforce an upper limit or not. I think
a fixed limit is sensible, after all it's to support rare and broken MUAs,
so there is no "correct" solution anyway. How about 1KB?
A further question is if there should be a configuration or a compile-time
option to increase the 75-character RFC limit. A configuration option
does not cost much, perhaps the highest cost is enlarging the manual.
Any suggestions?

So the conversion to UTF-8 _and_ matching non-ASCII strings works?
