XFOR: Subject Prefix "Re:" Changes in CCMC (237189)

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is by design. The CCMC has no way of knowing what language the client is using. It only knows the language of the cc:Mail post office. So if the cc:Mail post office is Japanese, the CCMC should replace "Re:" with the appropriate Japanese character.

This scenario does not only occur on a Japanese post office, but also on other language versions. The prefix is replaced with a character of or term from that language. Even with an English CCMC, any subject with prefix "Re:" is changed to be "RE:".

In addition, the CCMC uses the language that you select on the Post Office tab for all the status messages.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Install a Japanese cc:Mail post office.
2. Install a computer running Windows NT Server 4.0 SP4 with the Japanese Language Pack.
3. Set up an Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 2 computer with the CCMC and add the Japanese locale.
4. Configure the CCMC to connect to the Japanese cc:Mail post office, and set the post office language of the CCMC to Japanese.
5. Log on to Exchange Server and send a test message to a cc:Mail user, "ccuser1", with a subject of "Test Message".
6. Use English cc:Mail client to log on to the cc:Mail post office as "ccuser1" and reply to the test message. The subject becomes "Re: Test Message".
7. Log on to Exchange Server again. The subject of the reply message is "?:Test Message". Using the Japanese client, you find the "Re" is replaced with a Japanese character.

The conversion takes place in the Ccmc\Src\Ccmc\Cc2ems.cpp file:

LPWSTR CCCtoEMS::pwszSubject( IN CCMailMessage *pccmm )

// If this is a reply or a reply to a reply set up the subject and
// normalized subject to ensure correct sort order on Exchange Make
// sure that if it talks and walks like a duck that it is a duck
// the format we're looking for is "Re[n]: Subject"
......
// reset the subject and set up the NormalizedSubject
     m_pwszNormalizedSubject	= WszDup (pwszPrefixEnd + 1);
     m_pwszSubject = CCMC_NEW WCHAR [wcslen(g_rgpwsz[EXCHANGE_REPLY_PREFIX]) 
        + wcslen (m_pwszNormalizedSubject) + 1];
     wsprintf (m_pwszSubject, L"%s%s", g_rgpwsz[EXCHANGE_REPLY_PREFIX],
        m_pwszNormalizedSubject);  
     pccmm->hrSetSubject( m_pwszSubject );
				

So the normalization of the subject is designed to fix the aforementioned "Re[n]:" problem.
