XFOR: Message Characters Corrupted When Different Locale Used (166615)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q166615 SYMPTOMS
When a computer running Microsoft Exchange Client or a POP3 client is
configured with a different code page than the computer running Microsoft
Exchange Server version 5.0 uses to send a MIME-encoded message, the
message body becomes corrupted.
An example of this scenario is when the Microsoft Exchange Server computer
is configured with standard settings (US-ASCII for POP3, ISO-8859-1 for the
Internet Mail Service) and the client being used has another code page
installed.
CAUSE
The message body becomes corrupted because the MIME header does not match
the message body type. This will affect all outbound MIME messages where
the code page on the server differs from the client locale.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
