FPSE2002: E-Mail Message Body Is Truncated When You Send Message from Web Page Form (820915)


The information in this article applies to:

  • FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft
  • Microsoft Office XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP-2)
  • Microsoft Office XP Standard Service Pack 2 (SP-2)

SYMPTOMS

When you send an HTML-formatted e-mail message from a Web page form, the e-mail message does not appear correctly for the recipient. For the recipient, the body of the e-mail message is truncated and most of the body text missing.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the Web site uses Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 from Microsoft. There is limit of 2,048 characters in a single line in the E-mail Form. As you type your e-mail message, the Text area form field ignores all hard returns (carriage returns) and treats the whole message as a single line.
