SYMPTOMS
========
E-mail messages arriving through the Internet Mail Service (US English) that
contain non-ANSI characters such as DBCS (Japanese, Korean, and so on) may
arrive with corruption or unusable characters such as squares or boxes in place
of the originally intended characters. This can occur in messages using RTF or
HTML objects as attachments.
CAUSE

causes non-ANSI characters to be converted into unusable or garbage characters.

======

5.0.

Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack,
