Can you dump/paste the SMB header for the message and compare? Maybe the entire message is the body and the tear and tag aren't going into the tail? UTF-8 encoding is likely the trigger. I'll post a message using UTF-8 here in a second as test.
I can't see the issue here on Vertrauen of course because the QWKnet taglines are added upon export.
