XCLN: Mac Attachments Are Unrecognizable After Crossing IMC (166531)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client 5.0
This article was previously published under Q166531 SYMPTOMS
A Macintosh attachment in a message comes across as an unrecognizable
document after crossing the Internet Mail Connector (IMC). The message is
sent from a computer running Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client 4.0
Service Pack 3 (SP3) to a computer running Microsoft Exchange Macintosh
client 5.0. Both IMCs are configured to send attachments in Binhex, always
sending rich text.
CAUSE
Macintosh attachments sent from Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 SP3
to Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 in Binhex+TNEF are not received
properly (wrong icon, unrecognizable file type, and so on). This is because
of the incompatible Macintosh file handlings for UUENCODE/TNEF between 4.0
SP1 and 5.0.
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.
