SYMPTOMS
If you send a message with a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) header that contains a Content-Type entry that wraps to a second line, the message may not be displayed correctly when you open it in an e-mail client. The message may be displayed in plain text instead of the format defined by the Content-Type entry.



CAUSE
Microsoft Exchange Server cannot convert messages with MIME headers that contain Content-Type entries that wrap to a second line. As a result, the messages are not displayed correctly when you open them in an e-mail client.
