  (headers):

  text line
         The maximum total length of a text line including the
         <CRLF> is 1000 characters (but not counting the leading
         dot duplicated for transparency).

 That number is intended to LIMIT still more the number of addresses,
not to increase it over 1000 :(

 (Anyway, I'm using qmail).
