I generally keep my ascii to 70 lines, which I think is
about the minimum for most programmes and systems. I haven't
(myself) come accross any mail prgrammes etc that can't handle
this, though I am sure there are some that word wrap at under
columns. The narrower the better anyway, when it comes to ascii
art, seeing as it is a medium that everyone is supposed to
be able to see. :)
