SYMPTOMS
When you add a recipient to the To box in an e-mail message in Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access, the address appears to be resolved correctly when you click Check Names. However, when you try to send the e-mail message, the message moves to the Drafts folder. The message is not delivered.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:  You are using Outlook Web Access to access a server that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1. In the Active Directory directory service, the recipient's display name uses the following format as part of the display name:

[ : : ]

For example, the recipient's display name appears as follows:

[ : : ]

 When you address the e-mail message, you copy the display name of the recipient from another message, and then you paste it into the To box.

In this scenario, the Outlook Web Access client incorrectly parses the alias of the recipient.
