XCON: Inbound SMTP Message May Contain an Extra Line in Message Body (284991)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
This article was previously published under Q284991 SYMPTOMS
Inbound Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) messages may contain an extra blank line after a carriage return/line feed combination in the message body. This problem may occur if the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) header Content-Type has a value of text/enriched and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tags in the message body. This problem occurs when you view the message with Microsoft Outlook 2000 only, this problem does not occur in any previous versions of Microsoft Outlook.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the content type of text/enriched causes the message to go through a Rich Text Format (RTF) parser. The RTF parser adds a new paragraph symbol to the end of a line, and also retains the existing carriage return/line feed combination. This situation is normally handled later, but in this case, it is not.
