OL2000: Pocket Outlook Displays Incorrect Characters (297077)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook 2000
  • Microsoft Pocket Outlook 3.01
This article was previously published under Q297077

SYMPTOMS

When you synchronize the Notes folder by using a Pocket PC (PPC) device, it produces unexpected results. If you place colons (:) or slashes (/) in the first line of the note, they turn into underscores (_) characters.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Pocket Outlook software does not display special characters in the Subject field.

This is by design.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior and view the note after you synchronize, open the note completely.
