The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client 4.0
This article was previously published under Q156719 SYMPTOMS
When you are running a Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client and receive a
message with attachments that are in MacBinary I format, the following
error will be displayed when you open the message:
/!\ Can't get the time stamp of MacintoshHD:System Folder:
Exchange Temporary Items:Attachment Name.
Microsoft Exchange will assume it is dirty. <OK>
It will be followed by:
/!\The application associated with this attachment could not be
started. Attachment Name (System Error = -43) <OK>
and then when you close the message:
[Attachment Name] - has actual attachment name
/!\The temporary file has disappeared. Changes could not be saved.
<OK>
CAUSE
Currently, the Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client does not support
attachments in MacBinary I format
WORKAROUND
Originators should send you messages using any encoding other than
MacBinary I.
Note: The Macintosh Client does support the MacBinary II format.
