1000 characters limit in Email Signature PUT API

[Lionel Chan]

Hi All

This is related to the "Updating Signature" of Email Setting API:
http://code.google.com/googleapps/domain/email_settings/developers_guide_protocol.html#GA_email_signature_main

The Documentation read as follow:

When setting an email signature, the plain text string can be up to
1000 characters. An empty string ("") results in no signature, meaning
the signature feature is disabled. When setting or retrieving a
signature, the API accepts plain or HTML-encoded strings.

Question is, any specific reason why we have this hard limit over PUT command? We have tried the API and is indeed it throws 400 Bad Request if the signature overs 1000 characters.

If this limit is applicable across GApps, why the users still can set their own signature over 1000 characters?

Will this limit be removed in the future? Can we have any insight on this particular limitation?

And it seems like this API is only available for Business/Edu GApps accounts. We hope to have some insight regarding this :)

Thanks a lot!

Hi all, 

Any reply on this one?

Gmail's web interface doesn't restrict signature to 1000 chars anymore. So, shouldn't the API be updated to support more than 1K chars as well?

Cheers,
