SUMMARY
=======
If the post office language of the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus
cc:Mail (CCMC) is set to Japanese, when a cc:Mail user using an English cc:Mail
client replies to a message sent by an Exchange Server user, the Subject prefix
"Re:" is changed to a Japanese character.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This behavior is by design. The CCMC has no way of knowing what language the
client is using. It only knows the language of the cc:Mail post office. So if
the cc:Mail post office is Japanese, the CCMC should replace "Re:" with the
appropriate Japanese character.
This scenario does not only occur on a Japanese post office, but also on other
language versions. The prefix is replaced with a character of or term from that
language. Even with an English CCMC, any subject with prefix "Re:" is changed to
be "RE:".
In addition, the CCMC uses the language that you select on the Post Office tab
for all the status messages.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem
------------------------------
1. Install a Japanese cc:Mail post office.
2. Install a computer running Windows NT Server 4.0 SP4 with the Japanese
Language Pack.
3. Set up an Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 2 computer with the CCMC and add
the Japanese locale.
4. Configure the CCMC to connect to the Japanese cc:Mail post office, and set
the post office language of the CCMC to Japanese.
5. Log on to Exchange Server and send a test message to a cc:Mail user,
"ccuser1", with a subject of "Test Message".
6. Use English cc:Mail client to log on to the cc:Mail post office as "ccuser1"
and reply to the test message. The subject becomes "Re: Test Message".
7. Log on to Exchange Server again. The subject of the reply message is "?:Test
Message". Using the Japanese client, you find the "Re" is replaced with a
Japanese character.
The conversion takes place in the Ccmc\Src\Ccmc\Cc2ems.cpp file:
LPWSTR CCCtoEMS::pwszSubject( IN CCMailMessage *pccmm )
// If this is a reply or a reply to a reply set up the subject and
// normalized subject to ensure correct sort order on Exchange Make
// sure that if it talks and walks like a duck that it is a duck
// the format we're looking for is "Re[n]: Subject"
......
// reset the subject and set up the NormalizedSubject
m_pwszNormalizedSubject = WszDup (pwszPrefixEnd + 1);
m_pwszSubject = CCMC_NEW WCHAR [wcslen(g_rgpwsz[EXCHANGE_REPLY_PREFIX])
+ wcslen (m_pwszNormalizedSubject) + 1];
wsprintf (m_pwszSubject, L"%s%s", g_rgpwsz[EXCHANGE_REPLY_PREFIX],
m_pwszNormalizedSubject);
pccmm->hrSetSubject( m_pwszSubject );
So the normalization of the subject is designed to fix the aforementioned
"Re[n]:" problem.
