What is the maximum length of Subject line in Outlook?

What's the longest you can use? :)

The RFC for this topic says 998 total characters, max of 78 per line. I
don't believe all email clients support multiline subjects, so 78 characters
is the practical limit to support the widest number of mail clients.
