Problem Note 40978: The subject lines for e-mails sent from SAS® might get truncated in some e-mail clients
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use the EMAIL (SMTP) access method in the FILENAME statement to send an e-mail from SAS, some e-mail clients might render the end of the subject line with garbled text. This issue might occur in Mozilla Thunderbird and in e-mail clients for Japanese cell-phone users.
The problem occurs when the subject's header lines are split after about 75 characters by the e-mail client. If the double-byte character set (DBCS) characters in the subject line do not have certain escape characters, then the DBCS characters might be split in the middle of the double-byte pair.
