SUMMARY
=======

The Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Connector (IMC) creates a file and copies
failed messages to the file. The file has an ATT, TXT, or DAT extension. The
file extension assignment is done in the following manner:

- If an inbound conversion fails, the raw message is copied to a file with the
  TXT file extension. For example, the file name can be Att00xxx.txt.

- MIME messages. If a parameter is not found in the headers that can be used as
  an attachment name, IMC creates a file with the ATT file extension (either
  from the MIME Type configuration or Content-Type header information). If the
  MIME Content-Type is configured in the property page, the file with the ATT
  file extension is used. If the Content-Type is not configured, the file with
  the DAT file extension is used.

- If no file name information is detected for non-MIME messages (in
  X-MS-Attachment header or Begin header) and the bodypart is a UUENCODED
  bodypart, IMC creates a file with the DAT file extension.
