XFOR: Thai Characters are not Translated by the MS Mail Connector (175437)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q175437 SYMPTOMS
Mail messages containing Thai characters sent between a Microsoft Exchange
client on a Microsoft Exchange Server and a Microsoft Mail client on a
Microsoft Mail for PC Networks Postoffice are not translated correctly.
These symptoms occur when the message is sent via the Microsoft Mail
Connector.
CAUSE
The Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Mail Connector requires a Primary Language
for clients, to allow correct conversion for a Microsoft Mail for PC
Networks Postoffice. The Primary Language is set from the Interchange panel
when viewing the properties page of the Microsoft Mail Connector in the
Microsoft Exchange Administrator program. Thai is not a valid option to set
for this conversion, so the correct conversion does not happen. The fix
indicated below will allow the Primary Language to be set to Thai.
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
Knowledge Base:
MORE INFORMATION
Because different Microsoft Mail for PC Networks client versions require a
different conversion, there is more than one fix required to add this
functionality. The Windows for Workgroups (Thai) client, Microsoft Mail 3.5
(USA), and Microsoft Mail 3.2 (USA) client are the three clients tested
that exhibit this incorrect behavior.
