SYMPTOMS
If a custom form or a message containing a subject length greater than 40 characters and a message class other than "IPM.Microsoft Mail.Note" is submitted into Microsoft Exchange Server through the Microsoft Mail Interchange (MSMI), the subject line of the message is truncated to 40 characters.



CAUSE
During the FIPS to MDBEF conversion for message classes other than "IPM.Microsoft Mail.Note," the MSMI maps the subject line from the FIPS header into the MAPI property PR_Subject, instead of the subject line in the body of the message. The FIPS header subject field is limited to 40 characters.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server versions 4.0 and 5.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 and 5.0 U.S. Service Packs.
