This article was previously published under Q237838 SYMPTOMS
When you set up an Exchange Server computer to be the SMTP gateway of a Japanese Lotus cc:Mail post office, if a cc:Mail user sends a Japanese message to an Internet address, all Japanese characters become question marks (?) at the receiver side.
CAUSE
When the message is exported from Lotus cc:Mail to Exchange Server, all content is converted to UNICODE. But the native code page information (CPID) is not saved, so the default Windows NT CPID is used instead.
When the message is converted from UNICODE to the native code page by Internet Mail (IMAIL), all the message properties are converted to the default CPID.
If the computer running Windows NT Server is running the English version, all Japanese characters are converted to question marks.
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the
