Well, just put on your Carnak the Magnificent hat. <grin>

OK, this does not happen to all messages, but once a message appears
truncated, it is always truncated, whether they move it or reply to it.
They all use Outlook 98 on Windows 98 with IE 5. Messages are only from
other internal Exchange users so far with no attachments and it is the
body of the message that is truncated. Messages are viewable in Preview
pane, but are truncated there also. If a message was sent to multiple
users, the other users see the whole message. Messages do not truncate at
256 characters or anything simple like that. The sender can send
additional messages (of equal length) that are not affected, so it does
not seem to be related to the sender or the message length.

Replacing their PCs with one that has our latest image lets them view the
message properly. So I imagine that reimaging this person's PC will fix it
for him. But still looking for a cause. I see absolutely NOTHING on this
anywhere I've looked (Microsoft, Google, etc.). I also searched on here
and didn't find it. Maybe I didn't go back far enough.)

Like I said, a weird one...
