SYMPTOMS

When you use the Out Of Office Assistant to turn on an out of office notice in the Japanese version of Outlook 2000, the Shift-JIS (Japanese Industry Standards, code-set for Japanese characters) character set is sent, even though Shift-Jis is not the standard for sending Japanese on the Internet.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION


WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, do not use the Japanese language in an Out of Office message.
