SUMMARY
=======

You may need to customize the header formation of the outgoing message from
Exchange Server to the host. By default, a dashed line (-) separator is drawn
under the Subject portion of the header. You may want to change this and this
article describes an undocumented feature to remove or change the line
separator.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To remove or change the dashed line separator underneath the Subject portion of
the header, follow these steps:

1. Open up the Exchconn.ini file located under the Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn
  directory. The exact location will be based on where the SNADS connector was
  installed.

2. Look for the [LME-SNADS-MEXDIA] section, you should find several parameters
  already defined here:

  [LME-SNADS-MEXDIA]

   title      = Exchange To SNADS Transform
   executable = lsmexdia.exe
   params     = &s
   outputq    = snads.in

3. Add the following line to this section to effectively remove the dashed-line
  separator:

  [LME-SNADS-MEXDIA]

   title      = Exchange To SNADS Transform
   executable = lsmexdia.exe
   params     = &s
   outputq    = snads.in
   lastline   =

  Or add a string value to this parameter to set the separator. By default, the
  SNADS connector will only output up to 78 characters, so if the string value
  supplied is greater than 78 characters (or what the 'hostnoterightmargin'
  value is in the [LME-SNADS] section) it will be truncated accordingly. The
  string value is not repeated, so if you want 78 asterisk (*) characters, you
  need to set lastline as follows:

  lastline =
  "******************************************************************************"

4. Stop and restart the SNADS connector. The dashes under the Subject line will
  now be removed, or changed to the specified value.
