SYMPTOMS
When you send an e-mail message, word wrapping may break a URL that is contained in a template used by the Site Server 3.0 Direct Mailer. For example: http://host/directorypath/directorypath/testfile.asp?querystring=123 is changed to: http://host/directorypath/directorypath/testfileasp?querystring=122 This causes the URL to break in text-based e-mail programs.



CAUSE
A period (.) occurs at the start of a line after mime encoding the message. According to RFC 821, this condition should be handled so that another period (.) is added to the line, so that it is correctly displayed when the period (.) at the beginning of the line is removed at the receiving end.



RESOLUTION
Change the length of the URL so that the period (.) does not get wrapped to the next line.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Site Server 3.0.
