XFOR: SMTP Headers Lost for DOS MS Mail Client (156999)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q156999 SYMPTOMS
If an MS-DOS Microsoft Mail client receives SMTP mail through the Microsoft
Exchange Internet Mail Connector (IMC) to a Microsoft Mail Postoffice, the
recipient will not see the SMTP headers.
CAUSE
The Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Mail Interchange (MSMI) stores the SMTP
headers in the Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) part of the
message when it pulls the message from Microsoft Exchange Server and
creates a Microsoft Mail file for it. The MS-DOS Microsoft Mail client will
not interpret any of the TNEF data, unlike the Window 16 and Windows 32
clients.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service
Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. For information on
obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft
