E-mail message is being truncated after a few lines

I have seen messages that are getting cut off after one or two lines. The situation is an Office XP (I know better but oh well) client sending to an Office 2000 client. The server is Exchange 5.5 on windows NT 4.0 SP 6a (Exchange is SP4) This only seems to happen to the 2000 mail clients when they receive a message. I have not heard of this happening to the Office XP users. My theory is that this is related to Office XP and some compatibility issue with Exchange 5.5. Any thoughts? Has anyone seen this sort of behavior?
Thanks

Well thanks ya'll but I figured that it was related to the Xp version of Office and Exchange 5.5 server having a compatibility issue. I upgraded my client to Office XP and now they are getting all of the message text. This seems to be a bug in sending messages from an XP client to a Office 2000 client on an Exchange 5.5 server.
If anyone sees this that was the fix. I upgraded the one client to Office XP.
Just a note,
I would have rather gone the other way and changed everyone else to Office 2000 but that would have taken way too much time. In a smaller implementation with a mixed environment that might be easier to do but looing at changing about a hundred office installations to 2000 from XP made me think again.

Had the exact same issue...we planned on upgrading to Win2k/Ofc Xp anyway so this was not forcing the issue...however, once we were all XP, the problem went away. We are currently still 5.5

A nice way for MShaft to get folks to buy all sorts of licences, eh?
