Thanks again.  The long message in that prompted this was sent out via a
crontab job.

ie.  23 01 00 12 * mail list@server < message.txt

I'm limited to the SMTP protocol's rules since there isn't much else there
to negoiate line lengths?  There actually was a jump between servers.
Hmmm...  However, I'll try to cron the job up on the majordomo server and
see what happens...
