Change the limit for the number of characters in Friendly Name

By default, the limit is 1000 characters for Friendly Name when an e-mail message is converted from MIME to MAPI. The number can be set to any positive integer. This helps prevent scenarios in which Outlook hangs while attempting conversion.
