This reminded me of the company I worked for where they thought it would be a good idea to have a program make automated calls to all their best customers in the evenings to announce their sales specials. During the time they're at home of course, with their family. They just announced it one day, just like that! Anyway, they were the new (and remote) owners, and I was programming access to the "legacy" data, so if they were going to ask anybody, they weren't going to ask me either.

It didn't even last a week!

I've got a customer who wants us to expand the Subject line to 256 characters.  
First step is to find if it is even valid to be that long.  *I* wouldn't want 
to receive one that long, but they aren't asking my opinion...and they are 
paying the bills.  So they'll get it.

Unless the subject line is intended to be interpreted by a program, I would 
absolutely advise this customer *NOT* to do this.

It's kind of like making a filename 256 characters long ... it's fine if a 
computer needs to deal with it, but not a human.
