And you waited until I tried to submit it before telling me this 
because....?

Why the limit anyway? If the required detail dictates a longer message, 
then that's what's needed. If I omit details because they won't fit, 
you'll have to contact me to get them.

My cynical nature makes me suspect the limit's there for no better 
reason than that your developer doesn't know how to handle arbitrary 
length data.
