Inews and long headers

I have gateway some mail newsletters to inn.
But I got a lot of:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
inews failed: inews: header too long (maximum length is 998): X-Microsoft-Exchange-Diagnostics: =?us-a... inews: article not posted
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
messages.
I checked out lines with these suspected headers and most of them are
in form:

Header-name: aaaaaaa
 bbbbbbbb
 ....

No single line is 998 bytes long, but concatenated are.
I am not sure if 998 limit concerns single line or whole header. I
thought that only single line should be checked, not whole header?
