Exchange 2003 is dead. Exchange 2010 SP1 is king.
Long live the king! Slightly more seriously, MIME processing was completely rewritten in Exchange 2007. There were lots of issues with Exchange 2003 and multi-byte character sets. Same thing is true with Outlook 2003. It had challenges when dealing with MBCS. I can't remember far enough back to be able to identify the specific issues. My best recommendation is to move to more-current software. Regards, Michael B.

Shook From: Andy Shook Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 9:01 AM To: 'MS-Exchange Admin Issues' Subject: garbled Japanese character sets Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003 & 2010 Got an issue with an international company whereby (I love that word) Japanese characters are getting mangled between Outlook 2003 and 2010 clients. I have read about this being an issue with Exchange 2007 but it was corrected within SP1. Is this a known issue with Exchange 2003 and the best fix is to upgrade\migrate to Exchange 2010? This is my first experience with the Japanese character set, so any help is appreciated. May the Swartz be with you....
