Outlook 2003 Truncates outgoing emails below .sig

Kert Peterson

Since upgrading to Windows XP and Outlook 2003 2 months ago, I have lost
signifcant content on 3 major email generated and sent using outlook 2003.
This does not happen consistently but the times that it has happened, I've
lost 1-2 hours of work.

Here's what happens:
1) I create an email of the following format:
- body
- signature
- content below signature
2) Send email (this goes fine)
3) View sent email (and learn from recipient) to find out that the data
BELOW the signature line was truncated

Configuration:
- using Word 2003 to edit email messages
- Windows version: XP (No SP2)
- Office Outlook 2003 version: 11.5608.5606
- Office Word 2003 version: 11.5604.5606

What happens if you leave the sig out? Outlook does not examine the
contents of any outgoing mail and doesn't know that a particular set of
characters in the message is a signature, except under very specific
conditions, and ever when it does, it takes no action on a messages content.

Are you sure you're not using a post-process add-on line a mail virus
scanner?
