SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:

 * You use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to send a notification message to the mailbox.
 * You try to open the SharePoint Server 2007 notification message in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.
 * Outlook 2007 is running in Cached Exchange Mode.

In this scenario, you cannot open the notification message in Outlook 2007.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Exchange 2003 cannot convert the MIME-type properties to MAPI-type properties correctly if the names of the properties begin with X-.
