Is an 80 character sig file too wide?

Is an 80 character sig file too wide?

Hello,

I realize the ideal sig file should be less than 72 characters in width but was
wondering if I could get away with 80.  Any idea what percent of users would
have problems reading my sig? 

I'm trying to create this for my business e-mail and thought I had a perfection
until I realized the width.  If the recipient receives a bunch of jumbled
characters obviously I'm not going to look too professional and defeat the
purpose entirely.  

Anyway I would appreciate any feedback or advice.  Oh one last thing, do those
look like mountains?

TIA,

-daniel
