XCON: Message Body Truncated (159179)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q159179 SYMPTOMS
The text of a message body is truncated when displayed by any Microsoft
Exchange client. If the message is edited on the sending system to not
include any null characters, the message can then be submitted to the
Microsoft Exchange message transfer agent (MTA) and is displayed correctly.
CAUSE
The existence of null characters in the X.400 text body of the message
seems to be in violation of X.400 standards. Null characters are not
graphic characters and are not part of the ISO 646 graphic character set.
The first X.400 text body part is handled as the PR_BODY, which is a null-
terminate MAPI property. Any null characters contained in this body part
are treated as terminators and the message body was truncated wherever the
null characters occurred.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange version 4.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
