- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the Microsoft Exchange Chat client to connect to a Microsoft
Internet Chat Server, OnJoin and OnPart messages are not displayed.
CAUSE
=====
The Microsoft Internet Chat Service (ICS) has the ability to set OnJoin and
OnPart messages on individual channels. The OnJoin message is displayed to a
client upon joining (/JOIN) a channel, and the OnPart message is displayed when
leaving (/PART) the channel.
The Microsoft Exchange Chat client uses a proprietary protocol known as MIC to
communicate with the ICS, and this protocol does not support the OnJoin and
OnPart messages.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Chat Service,
which ships with Exchange Server version 5.5. Microsoft is researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Any chat client that uses the IRC protocol can see these messages.
