Today I send a private message to my team members. When I try to view it my browser reports a server reset message. Another team member has also reported an issue viewing the message and I'm waiting to hear from other members.

Is there a length limit on messages? It also contained several URL's. In preview it seemed find so I didn't see indication of an issue before I sent it.

Advise please or if you can fix the original message that would be great!

Thanks.

I send myself a copy of the message, I hope you do not mind. I thought it could be a problem with the different languages (or more specifically the character sets) so I changed the message, starting with only the English part and on every successful view I added the next language. It failed when I added Hindi. Just putting Hindi in the text works as well.

Will have to delve into the code to find out why this happens. What I do know is that with it's current content I can't fix the message.

Please do not PM, IM or email me for support (they will go unread/ignored). Use the forum for support.

Ok, thanks for checking. In the future I'll tailor multi-lingual posts to include English and only the language for a specific target recipient that way if the message fails due to a language character set, it will only fail to one person.
