It's not always a readable length. Long lines are much harder to read,
that's why newspapers use columns. The accepted width was generally
considered to be 2.5 to 3.5 alphabets (not characters because of
proportional type) which matches up rather nicely with the 70-odd
character generally recommended for mail.
