XCON: Spaces in Attachment File Names Are Replaced with Tildes (159190)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q159190

SYMPTOMS

All versions of the Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector (IMC) replace spaces in attachment file names with tildes (~).

CAUSE

This is by product design. Some clients could not handle attachments with a space in the name so the IMC converts the space to a tilde.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information when it becomes available.
