SYMPTOMS
Messages received by the Japanese version of Microsoft Exchange Client 5.0
from the Internet News Service (INS) and Internet Mail Service (IMS) that
have mixed character-set encoding are not decoded correctly. Those portions
of the message not decoded appear as non-standard keyboard characters in
the monitor.
These symptoms are seen when the inbound message contains mixed character
sets. For example, if some parts of the inbound message are encoded with
JIS, and others encoded with Shift-JIS, the entire message will not be
decoded correctly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
