Sending 75 characters, ending up with 72?

I'm sending 75 characters as an email subject (Internal object to internal object) but I only end up with 72. It's two keys and a three digit control code.

I send:
202552afa64-8c83-42f7-8908-83cfbb3cd76a6a998dc4-b976-4eb4-b3df-2121e9fea15b

And I get:
202552afa64-8c83-42f7-8908-83cfbb3cd76a6a998dc4-b976-4eb4-b3df-2121e9fea

The wiki says that the limit is 78 characters, although seemingly it got raised in 1.6.

Hmm.. I thought I adjusted that. The lastest tests I ran resulted in the limit for external->inworld to be 78 for the subject (bounces at greater), however inword->inworld communication was truncated to 72. The message limits are external->inworld = 1000 characters however inworld->inworld limit is 1023. This is a prime example of where LSL needs to be standardized.
