I am using pretty much the same as you, except I'm running IE7 on Vista.

Michael, do oyu still have this bug if you disable RTFM?

I can reproduce the error consistantly whenever I hit reply/comment to a specific transaction. Depending on which transaction I reply/comment on changes the site that the data is truncated. Doesnt matter how much more I type into the reply/comment, each transaction also truncated at the same bytes regardless.

The Javascript errors I had in IE had nothing to do with this bug. I fixed it my removing the references to scriptalicous.js and prototype.js in the modified header from the RTx-EmailCompletion header.

The only extension I have is RTFM. More specs:
RT-3.8.2
RTFM-2.4.1
MySQL 5.0.67 (external server)
IE 7.0.5730.11 on WinXP SP3
IE7 Add-ons don't apply, because I experienced the same issue in IE7 "safe mode" ('iexplore -extoff').

I'm baffled.
