SYMPTOMS

When you compose or open a note in Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, the following error message may occur:
A field was not large enough to display all of its contents.

CAUSE

The maximum amount of text in a note is 32,767 characters. If the message is being opened, it is larger than 32,767 characters. If the message is being composed, the error will occur when text is inserted past 32,767 characters.

WORKAROUND

To read the message that is larger than 32,767 characters, select it from your Mailbox then from the Mail menu, choose Save Messages. This will save the message to a text file, which can be opened by any text editor, such as SimpleText.

If the outgoing message is too large, compose the message in a text editor, then attach the saved text file to a message to send it. Attachments can be of any size.
