Pat,
According to Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Syntax) which references the RFCs (
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.5.3.1,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.2.3,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1 ) you'd be safe with 254 but I'd go with 256 just to be sure.

Subject: The length of a email address
I am developing an application that requires that I store a number of
email addresses.
I have found several articles that discuss the maximum length but I am
not really
sure what is the "correct" number.
Is 256 the maximum length for a typical email address ?
