$Righteo, let's get this debate settled.
$I'm using a vt100 terminal, which is probably one of the most basic
$environments available. The character meter thingy below is 80
$characters wide and just about stretches across the entire width of the
$terminal without wrapping. Pine's text extends to character 78, so I
$would suggest the following:
$80 characters iff there's no chance of anyone replying.
$78 characters normally (won't wrap when replied to).
$72 characters or less if you expect a lot of followups/rediddles of
$rediddles of rediddles of your original artwork etc.
$
$Oh, and the McQ standard for .sigs is a maximum of 80 characters x 4 lines...
