Last reviewed: July 14, 1997 Article ID: Q124281
The information in this article applies to:

- The Microsoft Network versions 1.0, 1.05, 1.2, 1.3

## SUMMARY

When you compose a message on a Bulletin Board Service (BBS) and type a subject in the Subject area, the subject you typed also appears in the message's title bar.

If you use a tab character in the message subject, the tab character appears as spaces in the Subject area and as a pipe character (|) in the message's title bar. For example, the subject

       "<tab character>This is the subject"

appears in the Subject area as

       "     This is the subject"

and in the title bar as:

       "|This is the subject"
