ON> Section D., I quote... Tear Line: This sub-field contains a ON> tearline (not to exceed 35 characters including the ON> leading "---" characters. This line is required on all ON> echomail messages.

ON> I have seen some 60+ character tear lines, for example: ON> "--- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) ON> Gecko/20101125"
