The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you send a text/enriched message (a message that has a content type of
text/enriched) through an Exchange Server computer, the information store uses
an incorrect tag in the RTF header. This may cause your e-mail client to
recognize angle brackets (<>) as HTML tags. If the message contains angle
brackets, it may not be displayed correctly in the e-mail client.

For instance, text/enriched mail whose body is "This is <<test>", is
delivered. Outlook 98 mail viewer shows only "This is ".

CAUSE
=====

More specifically, the header includes the \fromhtml1 tag, which apparently
tells the e-mail client that the message is formatted in HTML (rather than plain
text).

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
