XCLN: Long Filenames Converted to 8.3 Format

• Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 4.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you save more than one file attachment in a message at once, if these attachments are all using long filenames, the files saved are in 8.3 format rather than long filenames.

WORKAROUND

Save each attachment individually; the long filename will be preserved.
