SYMPTOMS
A user sends a message in Rich Text Format (RTF) to a user on another Exchange Server computer connected by an X.400 Connector with "Remote clients support MAPI" configured. The second user replies to the message, including the original text, and also using RTF. The original user then replies to this reply, again including the message. After several replies (the number depends on the amount of data exchanged), one of the recipients receives a non-delivery report (NDR) with Reason = Unable to Transfer, and Diagnostic = A syntax error was detected in the content of the message. The message transfer agent (MTA) that generated the NDR is an Exchange Server 5.0 SP2 MTA, and it will have reported a Content Conversion Failure (Event ID 290).



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the following fix by contacting Microsoft Technical Support or wait for the next Exchange Server service pack.
