PC Win: Not Sorting Correctly Based on Subject Field

Last reviewed: October 29, 1994
Article ID: Q82916

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Messages sorted based on the subject field do not sort correctly.

CAUSE

This problem may be caused by multiple subject lines having the same first 128 characters.

Mail for Windows only caches the first 128 characters of the subject field. Messages that have subject lines that are identical through the first 128 characters are then sorted based on date.
