XADM: Messages Sent with MIME/JIS Encoding May Not Be Readable (169679)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q169679 SYMPTOMS
When your Microsoft Exchange Server is configured to use MIME/JIS (Japanese
Industry Standards, code set for Japanese character), some messages that
you send to Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) users may not be readable.
CAUSE
With Microsoft Exchange Server set up to use a MIME/JIS configuration,
messages are expected to be encoded with 7-bit data. However, if an invalid
character is included in the message, the message will be encoded Quoted-
Printable. Some mail readers do not support Quoted-Printable, and if they
receive messages encoded in Quoted-Printable, the messages will not be
readable.
Some applications generate the character 0x9520, which is an invalid CP932
character. If you copy this character, paste it into a Microsoft Exchange
message, and send it to an SMTP user, this problem will occur.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service
Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on
obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft
