SYMPTOMS
When you synchronize the Notes folder by using a Pocket PC (PPC) device, it produces unexpected results. If you place colons or slashes (/) in the first line of the note, they turn into underscores (_) characters.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Pocket Outlook software does not display special characters in the Subject field.

This is by design.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior and view the note after you synchronize, open the note completely.
