STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem was first corrected in Microsoft Office 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP-3).

MORE INFORMATION

To activate the fix, update the registry.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
  1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
  2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Options\Mail\

  3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

    Value name: DontEncodeCustomNote
    Data type: REG_DWORD
    Radix: Decimal
    Value data: 1

  4. Quit Registry Editor.
The registry key controls whether or not Outlook 2000 automatically sends TNEF for a custom form even when the custom form has a message class of IPM.Note.

How the Value Controls When TNEF Is Sent for a Custom Form

  1. If the value is zero (or not present), you experience the following symptoms when you send a message:
    • If you send a message by using the attached custom form, Outlook 2000 sends the message using TNEF. This occurs when you are using Outlook 2000 in the Internet Mail Only (IMO) mode.
    • If you send a clear signed message by using the attached custom form, Outlook 2000 sends a binary large object (BLOB) signed message. This occurs when you are using Outlook 2000 in the Corporate or Workgroup (CW) mode.
    NOTE: A clear signed message should have a message class of "IPM.Note.SMIME.MultipartSigned" (without quotation marks), and a MIME content-type of "multipart/signed" (without quotation marks). A BLOB signed message should have a message class of "IPM.Note.SMIME" (without quotation marks), and a MIME content-type of "application/pkcs7-mime" (without quotation marks).

  2. If the value is non-zero (or present), you experience the following symptoms when you send a message:
    • If you send a message by using the attached custom form, Outlook 2000 sends the message without using the TNEF formatting. This occurs when you are using Outlook 2000 in the IMO mode.
    • If you send a clear signed message by using the attached custom form, the message is sent as a clear signed message. This occurs when you are using Outlook 2000 in the CW mode.
  3. If the value is zero or non-zero, you experience the following symptoms when you send a message:
    • If you send a message with a custom message class (for example, a message that does not match the IPM.Note class), it is always sent using the TNEF format. This occurs when you are using Outlook 2000 in the IMO mode.
    • If you send a clear signed message that uses Outlook voting buttons, Outlook 2000 sends a BLOB signed message. This occurs when you are using Outlook 2000 in the CW mode.
