SYMPTOMS

Outlook body part handling is stripping carriage returns from messages that are incoming from the AUTODIN Messaging System. As a result, the complete message is opened as a single line.

CAUSE

By default, the rich edit feature converts a CR_CR_LF sequence into a space. As a result, the formatting information for the lines is lost when Outlook opens these messages.
