XCON: Spaces in Attachment File Names Are Replaced with Tildes

Last reviewed: April 15, 1997
Article ID: Q159190

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

All versions of the Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector (IMC) replace spaces in attachment file names with tildes (~).

CAUSE

This is by product design. Some clients could not handle attachments with a space in the name so the IMC converts the space to a tilde.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information when it becomes available.
