This article was previously published under Q316066





SYMPTOMS
In a mixed Exchange organization (which contains both Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 computers and Exchange 2000 Server computers), if Exchange 2000 users double-click the name of a distribution list (DL) in the To box of a message, the Contact template may be displayed, not the DL template; therefore, no DL membership is displayed.

This problem may occur if:
 * The DL was created either on an Exchange Server 5.5 computer or in Active Directory.
 * Exchange 2000 users are members of that DL.
 * Exchange Server 5.5 users send a message to that DL.



CAUSE
In a Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) message, the PR_DISPLAY_TYPE tag indicates the type of template that the client uses to display the user information. If messages meet the conditions that are described in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section of this article, that PR_DISPLAY_TYPE tag is not set in the message properties; therefore, the client uses the default template to display the recipient information. The Contact template is the default template.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, the Exchange 2000 user can create a new e-mail message, and then add the same DL from the global address list to view membership of the DL.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.



MORE INFORMATION
This problem is cosmetic and does not limit the functionality of DLs.
