With this fix, BizTalk Server searches the first 1,200 bytes for the "MIME-Version" header.

This problem is resolved with the fix that is contained in this article. To install the fix, you must follow the instructions in the Readme text file that comes with the fix. This information is outlined as follows:

For each computer that is running BizTalk Server and for each database group, Btm_priorityupgrade.sql must be executed against the BizTalk Interchange_BTM database, and Sq_priorityupgrade.sql must be executed against the BizTalk Interchange_SQ database. To do this, you must use the SQL Query Analyzer to execute the stored procedures against the affected BizTalk database.

To install this fix, follow these steps:

1. Use either the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or the BizTalk Server Administrator to stop BizTalk Server. To use the Services MMC on Microsoft Windows 2000, follow these steps:
   
   
   1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Administrative Tools.
   2. Click Services, double-click System services, and then double-click BizTalk Messaging Services to stop or restart the BizTalk Messaging Service.
   To use the Services MMC on Microsoft Windows XP, follow these steps:
   
   
   1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click Administrative Tools.
   2. Double-click System services, and then double-click BizTalk Messaging Services to stop and restart the BizTalk Messaging Service.
   To use the BizTalk Server Administrator, right-click the BizTalk Server name in the BizTalk Server group to stop or start the services.
   
   
2. In the BizTalk Server installation directory (\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\), delete Cisengine.dll, Ciscore.dll, and Mscis.exe.
3. Replace the deleted files with the files from this fix.
4. Use the SQL Query Analyzer to apply Btm_priorityupgrade.sql to the Interchange_BTM database.
5. Use the SQL Query Analyzer to apply Sq_priorityupgrade.sql to the Interchange_SQ database.
6. Use either the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or the BizTalk Server Administrator to restart BizTalk Server.

NOTE: You must upgrade all servers that share the database. Any computers that are running BizTalk Server and that do not have the fix installed do not start after the BizTalk Management (BTM) and Shared Queue (SQ) databases have been updated. These two SQL database updates must be run before you run Hotfixsetup.exe. If they are not updated, the BizTalk Service does not start.
