At best these headers are useless -- except as fodder for a mailing list
argument. At worst they can increse your mobile phone bill. :-)
My origional point was to state that you are violating a convention
(use a X-) just as the ob-poster's line length choice was.
Messages are divided into lines of characters. A line is a series of
characters that is delimited with the two characters carriage-return and
line-feed; that is, the carriage return (CR) character (ASCII value 13)
followed immediately by the line feed (LF) character (ASCII value 10).
(The carriage-return/line-feed pair is usually written in this document
as "CRLF".) Each line of characters MUST be limited to 998 characters,
and SHOULD be limited to 78 characters, excluding the CRLF.

This is tedious and has taken on the flavor of a spelling argument.
