I couldn't agree with you more. Regardless, it appears that Yahoo and others have no issue with these same subject lines - it's just Exchange\Outlook that do.

Readability of such long subject line is difficult if not impossible for many mail readers. The long text should be in the message body. -- ME2 On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 2:47 PM, Rimmel, Carl<crimm...@hfhs.org> wrote: > From what I have found, these messages are using the UTF-8 character set and > are being BASE64 coded (somewhere along the way).
