137.0. "MEMO line length relevant to ability to reply?" by BER::RAMM (Michael Ramm, Digital Berlin, DTN 859-3225) Wed Apr 15 1992 19:18

Hi,

if a MEMO user gets a message with too a long sender address, he is not able
to reply. It seems that the MRMEMO gateway truncates the sender address at
MEMO line length (gateway parameter) characters.

This problem turned up since the customer operates MRX and interchanges
mail messages with me. With all these X.400 attributes the sender address
becomes *very* long, at least compared with DGN.DEN addresses.

Is this observation right? Is it a bug or a feature? Is it ok to set the MEMO
line length parameter to an arbitrary high number? Or what shall the customer do?

Thanks in advance,
mr

    Hi Michael,
    
    Older versions of MEMO (I think pre 3.1) truncated the sender address
    to 42 characters. Current versions should be able to cope with longer
    addresses, although I don't know the exact limit.
    
    The sender's address should not in any way be affected by the MRMEMO
    line length switch.
    
    
    cheers,
