Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

The Microsoft Lync instant messaging (IM) feature is enabled for Outlook Web App in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 environment.
You create an email message that contains more than seven individual recipients (excluding distribution lists and external recipients). Then, you send the email message.
A recipient opens the email message in Outlook Web App, and the recipient list in the email message is collapsed. Then, the recipient opens a chat window by clicking the Reply all by IM button.

In this scenario, only seven recipients appear in the chat window.
