SYMPTOMS
In a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 organization, you try to view an e-mail message that contains an embedded graphic in Outlook Web Access. Then, you try to perform another action, such as moving to another folder. When you do this, you are logged off unexpectedly.
Then, you are prompted to log on to Outlook Web Access. After you log on again, the e-mail message contains a red X in the picture frame.
This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
- You are using forms-based authentication in a front-end/back-end configuration.
- You log on to Outlook Web Access through the front-end server.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when the embedded graphic references an inaccessible link. This condition can occur when the sender of the e-mail message included the graphic by copying the graphic from another e-mail message or from a Web site.
RESOLUTION
To make sure that new messages do not cause this problem, apply the hotfix. Existing messages must be deleted by using Outlook. Outlook Web Access clients will continue to be logged off if they try to view or delete existing messages that caused the behavior before the hotfix was applied.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
MORE INFORMATION
When the graphic is copied from another e-mail message or from a Web site, Outlook Web Access sometimes includes the original link to the graphic. For example, when the graphic is copied from another e-mail message, the reference to the graphic may resemble the following link:
http://Server_Name
/exchange/user/drafts/subject.eml/1_multipart/a.jpg
When a user tries to open this e-mail message, Outlook Web Access cannot access the link. Outlook Web Access then returns an "Access denied" error message. In a forms-based authentication environment, the front-end server processes this error as a time-out error and logs the user off.
