PC Win: Address Book Does Not Limit Extended Characters (103449)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0b
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q103449 SYMPTOMS
Versions 3.0, 3.0b, 3.1, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows do not
check the validity of characters typed in fields in the Address Book
and its related dialog boxes. Therefore, invalid characters can be
typed in fields.
For example, you can type letters in the Fax Number box. Data checking
occurs only for fields that require data to be entered and for
carriage return-linefeeds (for the Personal Address Book).
You can also type invalid characters in the New User dialog box, and
the Address Book will accept these characters.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b,
3.1, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
