I've never heard of a mailer imposing such a strict limit, but this is SOL ..er.. AOL stuff we're talking about. The usual standard is 4 lines, which runs about 300 characters. 6 lines is not uncommon. 15 is waaay out there. Huge pictures as the body of a message are one thing, but mamouth static signature gobble up `bandwidth' if a lot of people have em (and they tend to get old real quick). Try to keep the sig short & sweet.
