SYMPTOMS
If you create a new Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) folder with a name that contains double-byte character set (DBCS) characters, either of the following symptoms may occur:
 * Two folders may be generated (both folder names are translated to use single-byte character set characters).
 * The folder name may be appended with a hyphen (-).

Either of these symptoms can potentially create a folder conflict.



CAUSE
This problem can occur because Request for Comments (RFC) 822 only allows ASCII characters between 33 and 128 in headers, and this includes newsgroups.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, do not use DBCS characters to create NNTP folders.
