The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5

SUMMARY
=======

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.

MORE INFORMATION
================

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).
