DOCUMENT:Q152915 15-DEC-2000 [exchange] TITLE :XFOR: Messages Inbound from IMC Include Body as Attachment PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER:winnt:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbusage ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange, version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== After you apply Microsoft Exchange Service Pack 2 to a Microsoft Exchange Server running the Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Connector (IMC), the message body of an incoming message might appear as an attachment.

For example: Date: 8 Aug 1996 12:56:10 -0400 From: "User One" Subject: Mail test from QM To: "My Friend" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; Name="Message Body" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Subject:Mail test mail test from QM When you open the message, the actual message body is in an attachment called Message Body. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Service Pack.
