XCON: Subject Line of Message Is Truncated to 40 Characters (156844)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q156844 SYMPTOMS
If a custom form or a message containing a subject length greater than 40
characters and a message class other than "IPM.Microsoft Mail.Note" is
submitted into Microsoft Exchange Server through the Microsoft Mail
Interchange (MSMI), the subject line of the message is truncated to 40
characters.
CAUSE
During the FIPS to MDBEF conversion for message classes other than
"IPM.Microsoft Mail.Note," the MSMI maps the subject line from the FIPS
header into the MAPI property PR_Subject, instead of the subject line in
the body of the message. The FIPS header subject field is limited to 40
characters.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
versions 4.0 and 5.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 and 5.0
U.S. Service Packs. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
