Companies installing Microsoft's new customer relationship management software say they are grappling with some flaws in the company's much-hyped debut product. The main complaint with the software, which Microsoft released in January, is that it inserts a long jumble of letters and numbers into the subject line of e-mails sent through the system. The string of characters, which Microsoft calls a generated unique identifier (GUID), could confuse e-mail recipients, or worse yet, cause e-mail sent to customers and prospective clients to be blocked by spam filters, according to Microsoft customers and resellers.
