They probably provided enough space for a normal email, but Outlook.com email servers add a ton of ridiculous headers. Not just X-this, X-that. So much nonsense that 75% of the headers and none of body fit. And the body was in two sections: a plain text and html-ready part with a lot of my name commented between every so many characters. So that part was bloated too.
Wouldn't they have experience with this sort of thing though and expect that not all emails that get reported will be neat and tidy and fit in the space? In any case, i hope they take your report seriously and do something about it.
