SYMPTOMSThe Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector (IMC) might fail to convert an incoming internet mail message. The IMC will not correctly parse MIME headers that wrap across lines. The problem appears with MIME Content- Type headers where the boundary is broken into two lines.
CAUSEWhen the IMC unwraps these headers, it removes all spaces. Although this conforms to the RFC, this creates a message with an invalid message header and thus the message cannot be processed.
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="---- =_NextPart_000_01BC87E8.4103ECF0"
