XFOR: Information Store Does Not Recognize Double Angle Brackets Correctly

Article ID: 232384

Article Last Modified on 10/28/2006



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Standard Edition



This article was previously published under Q232384

SYMPTOMS

When you send a text/enriched message (a message that has a content type of text/enriched) through an Exchange Server computer, the information store uses an incorrect tag in the RTF header. This may cause your e-mail client to recognize angle brackets (<>) as HTML tags. If the message contains angle brackets, it may not be displayed correctly in the e-mail client.

For instance, text/enriched mail whose body is "This is <<test>", is delivered. Outlook 98 mail viewer shows only "This is ".

CAUSE

More specifically, the header includes the \fromhtml1 tag, which apparently tells the e-mail client that the message is formatted in HTML (rather than plain text).
