That's highly unlikely given how the Exchange 2000 store treats MIME messages.
Was the message in question a pure MIME message (in other words did it come from an SMTP client) or did it originate with an Outlook (MAPI) client?

Any clues? Could it be that the server is counting 23824 as the size of the body part prior to base64 encoding? Encoding 23824 octets in base64 would typically result in slightly less than 4040 characters but it depends of course on the line length used. It would be a bad bug but, in a sense, an understandable one. Pete Maclean
