[pywin32-bugs] String limitations on outlook email messages?

[Miller, M. F <mik...@in...>]

I seem to be hitting a problem where the body of outlook email messages are truncated at 255-ish characters when extracting the data. I've got scripts that send email to a known account with a single character separated values line of data. Then a python script collects the data from each email in the folder:

        for indexItem in indexRange:
            # collect an email, add to buffer, delete
            emailItem = emailItems.Item(indexItem)
            buffer.append(emailItem.Body)
            print emailItem.Body

But I'm seeing truncation on the emailItem.Body data that is about the 255-char point.

Is this a known issue of some kind? I've set emailItem.Body to much larger strings on a number of occasions, so I know that works.

I can dig further on this, but I thought that checking with the experts first would be a good idea :)
