Okay—this one probably has an obvious answer, but I just can’t seem to find it.  Doing google searches comes up with lots of hits that look like the same issue, but I’m not finding the solution.  Help from the gurus please!

 

I have two users who regularly receive a word attachment from a detective outside of our organization.  The attachment is fairly important to our district as it is information for them to post about registered sex offenders in the vicinity of our schools.  Instead of receiving the attachment now though, they receive a lengthy, garbled e-mail that appears to be the attachment.  Based on the dates of what works and what doesn’t, it appears to have started at the time I moved their mailboxes in the upgrade from our EX5.5 sp3 server to our Ex2K sp2 server and has been broken ever since, but I haven’t heard about it until recently.  According to the detective (this is from the user), other districts are still receiving this attachment just fine, but I’m not convinced if it’s our system.

 

On our E2k server I’ve set Global Settings, Internet Message format, properties of default, message format tab, mime setting set to “both”.  On the Advanced tab, Exchange Rich-text format is set to “determined by individual user settings”—should this be set to “never user” or “always use” instead?  For our two internal users, one is definitely on Win2k sp2 using OL2k, but I think the other is still win98 w/OL97—haven’t verified that yet.  I don’t know whether they use word for their e-mail editors.

 

There also seems to be an odd, second “subject” line that shows an expanded list of the usernames from the “To” field.

 

Here is a portion of the message, modified just a bit as I’m having trouble posting it to the list (hmmm, it thinks I’m sending an attachment):

And it goes on from there for pages with no readable text included.


Any help is appreciated!
