XADM: Text Attachments Modified for Internet Mail |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5
SYMPTOMS
A small text file attachment (140 characters or fewer) containing line-feed
<LF> characters, but no carriage-return line-feed combinations <CR><LF>,
will be modified during outbound delivery of the Internet Mail Service. The
modification will be the extra insertion of a <CR><LF> just after the
original <LF> character, resulting in a <LF><CR><LF> combination at the end
of each line. This may cause problems for the receiving system.
CAUSE
A logic error treats the text file attachment as a text/plain body part
with 7-bit encoding. Larger attachments (those greater than 140
characters), are being encoded as Quoted-Printable, which correctly
preserves the <LF> character sequences.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
