SYMPTOMS
A 16-bit Microsoft Exchange client displays an incorrect date for mail
received on 12/31 during a leap year. For example, instead of displaying
12/31/96, the date in the inbox is displayed as 12/65202/96.
Another symptom is that Schedule+ meeting requests for 12/31/96 display
as 12/1/97 within the meeting request message. Choosing to accept the
meeting request results in no action at all. The meeting does not get
booked, and no error is displayed.
Yet another symptom may be that for messages sent on 12/31/96 with an
attachment, the attachment (when saved to the hard disk) displays a file
date of 13/18/d7 in File Manager and 13/18/99 at the MS-DOS prompt.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange
clients, version 4.0, listed at the beginning of this article. This problem
was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 4. For
