Additional Information

Steps to Duplicate
1. Create a text file with more than 1450 words separated by tab
2. Open GroupWise Client. Compose a mail. Copy all the text in the file and
paste it in the message body. You can send this to your self.
3. Open the mail that you have received. You must have received contents that
you had pasted earlier.
4. Now go to File | Save A,  this will bring the "Save" window
5. Under 'Saved message format', select "Plain text" and click on "Save".

Open the saved file, some of the contents towards the end would be missing. Repeat the steps above, replacing tab with "," or any other separator, no text is missing or if the same content is sent as an attachment, the data is processed correctly.
