SYMPTOMS
When you send a plain text e-mail message from Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 to a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server mailbox, the body of the e-mail message should be returned to the Virus Scan API 2.0 in Unicode characters.

However, the Virus Scan API 2.0 returns the &quot;0x4E9F&quot; value to the .txt file in the dump folder. The &quot;0x4E9F&quot; value indicates that the data in the body of the e-mail message is in US-ASCII characters.
