The official specification of email says it can be up to 254 characters....
And it's not the only field where I think that in code some weird restrictions are made, for example length of description of item. I know this is extended in the next release but please recheck all fields for weird restrictions.
Comments
This restriction makes zero sense, especially when other less important fields aren't restricted like this. It is something that literally slows me down and creates extra work & rework, on a pretty regular basis. It's long past time to deal with this stuff, this has been an issue for a very long time, one that you know about, and one that has migrated from your legacy products to your 365 product without proper attention. If this isn't on your roadmap of things to fix, please get it on there.

We continue to have issues delivering invoices and remittances to clients as a result of this limitation. Please fix this obvious bug in your platform so that we no longer have to manually review/edit each invoice email to include additional contacts beyond those that can be listed in the 80-character field.

Please extend the character count of the email field. We have clients running into this limitation.
