DOCUMENT:Q188823 06-DEC-2000 [exchange] TITLE :XCLN: Attachment Dropped During Forward of Message PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER:WINDOWS:5.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows Messaging, on platform(s): - the operating system: Microsoft Windows 95 - Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 5.0 - Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, version 5.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== An Internet message with more than one attachment is received by an Exchange Internet Mail Service and passed to a Microsoft Mail postoffice through the MS Mail Connector Interchange (MSMI). The message is then opened by an Exchange client using the Microsoft Mail Service Provider (to access the MS Mail postoffice). When the message is opened, all attachments are present. When the message is forwarded, one of the attachments is missing from the forwarded message. CAUSE ===== The message attachments were processed incorrectly when the message was moved from the MS Mail postoffice into the Exchange client's Inbox in the user's personal folder (PST) file. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange client version 5.0 and the Windows Messaging Client for Windows 95 RTM. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next service pack that contains this fix.
