Recently I am experimenting a problem trying to retrieve messages over a POP3 protocol.
Everything goes right until the POP3 client tries to retrieve a message that contains one or more long lines – lines as long as 3000 characters or even more.
The client (Outlook 2003 and 2007) stops on that message until timeout.
I would be surprised if thry didn't. RFCs prohibit line length greater than 998 characters.

There are two limits that this standard places on the number of characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than 998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the CRLF.
