XADM: Embedded Message Title Line Truncated to 30 Chars

ID: Q184991

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you send a message from Exchange Server to Lotus cc:Mail with an embedded message that contains a message subject line longer than 30 characters, the subject line will be truncated. The subject (of the parent message) is seen in the item's title in cc:Mail, as truncated after the thirtieth character.

CAUSE

This truncation is by design. Exchange Server does not add ellipses when it truncates the parent subject to indicate the text is actually longer than it appears. However the message body will still contain the original message subject (up to 60 characters).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange Server version 5.0.
