However, when I paste the URL into TextEdit or Mail, it gets
truncated at slightly less than 1000 characters. (The exact count
seems to vary by a few bytes, but seems to be around 988 to 992
characters for the actual URL text.)
According to RFC 2822 (Internet Message Format):
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.
So since a URL needs to be a single line, it will need to observe
these limits... There are a few other limitations on the parts of a
URLas well - for example, when embedded in a HTML <A> anchor: 1024
characters in a single attribute value literal, 2100 total sum of all
lengths of all attribute value specifications and a similar limit of
2100 for the overall length of the tag.
