SYMPTOMS
========

When a MAPI client embeds an OLE object into a mail message and sends it either
out of the Internet Mail Service to a user on the Internet or to a user on
Exchange Server who retrieves mail using POP3 or IMAP, the recipient may not
receive the OLE object. This happens regardless of which client is use by the
recipient. A placeholder that looks like "<<...>>" is found in place
of the OLE object. There is no indication to the recipient that this placeholder
indicates non-transferred data.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange Server 4.0, 5.0, and
5.5.
