SYMPTOMS
After you use the Macintosh Source Extractor to migrate a Microsoft Mail
for Appletalk Networks Postoffice to a Microsoft Exchange Server version
4.0, you might not be able to double-click to open attachments on mail
messages in the Macintosh mail client. You will receive the following
error message for text attachments:
Can't get the time stamp of <your computer>:System Folder:Exchange
Temporary Items:<attachment name>. Microsoft Exchange will assume it
is dirty.
After you click OK, you will receive the following error message:
The application associated with this attachment could not be started.
<attachment name> (System Error = -43)".
When you close the message containing the attachment, you will receive
the following error message:
The temporary file has disappeared. Changes could not be saved.
There is no error message for executable attachments. When double-
clicked, they create a new message and attach themselves to it. If you
double-click this new icon, you will get another message with the
attachment but it will have a 1, an @ symbol, and an umlauted A appended
to its name. If you double-click each new icon, this behavior will
continue.
