SYMPTOMS
========

If you attempt to send an X.400 message that contains several very long lines of
text with no line feeds or carriage returns, the message may not be delivered.
In addition, an event similar to the following may appear in the event log:

  message NMI0210: X.400 Service Event, severity 14

  (MTA DISP:FANOUT(18) Proc 112) 05-19-97 03:45:27pm
  Content conversion failed
  Object at fault     0600004C
  Conversion error    Database Server read failure
  MTS Identifier      C=US;A=MA;P=MICROSOFT;L=FIREBIRD-970519224521Z-30
  Old content type    2A864886F7140501
  New content type    56010A01
  PDU dump reference  2

In addition, if you are using Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0, you may receive a
non-delivery report (NDR). If you are using Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0, you
do not receive an NDR.

This problem occurs when the X.400 Connector is configured to use the ISO 6937
bodypart to transfer messages to a remote X.400 system and is not configured for
message text word-wrap.
