SYMPTOMS
When an Exchange user sends a message with an attachment that has a long file name (Longfilename.txt, for example) to a cc:Mail recipient using the 32-bit cc:Mail client, the attachment name is shortened to 8.3 format (Longfi~1.txt).

However, when sending an attachment with a long file name from the 32-bit cc:Mail client to Exchange, the attachment's long file name is retained.



CAUSE
The Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail (CCMC) converts long file name attachments to 8.3 format to support older 16-bit clients.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange versions 5.0 and 5.5.
