I see this too...looking forward to the responses. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com <rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com> Sent: Tue Oct 21 13:43:35 2008 Subject: [rt-users] Outlook 2003 Breaks Subject Line
Hello, I've found an interesting email problem and I wondered if anyone has an ideas. The problem is when using Outlook (2003) to view mail, the subject line can be munged in some circumstances. Example - I sent mail to myself with the following subject line: Re: [R3-chmgt] Transport SF2 > SF5 SF2K945289 [help.mit.edu #724401] When I received the mail and viewed it in Outlook 2003, the subject appears like this: Re: [R3-chmgt] Transport SF2 > SF5 SF2K945289 [help.mit.edu#724401] The difference is that there is no space between "help.mit.edu" and "#". This is a problem because, if reply to this message and I direct it to RT, the ticket identifying string is now broken, and I create a new ticket instead of appending to the intended ticket. If I view the same message using a different email client (I tried webmail and Opera mail), the subject line appears correctly - no munging. So there appears to be an issue with how Outlook reads the message. What appears to be happening is that Outlook is inserting a line break and a tab character before "#724401" - here's what the subject header looks like when viewd in Outlook: Subject: Re: [R3-chmgt] Transport SF2->SF5 SF2K945289 [help.mit.edu #724401] Has anyone seen anything like this before and are there any suggestions for solving the problem?
