Default engine temp question

I'm sure this gets asked all the time, but how hot is too hot? I've been wondering about my old hot/cold engine temp so i installed a digital one. it was hot as balls today and i was normally running around 200 F but once i opened it up on the highway it went up to about 238 F. Whats safe, when does it start affecting engine life?
