XWEB: Saving Attachment in OWA Causes File Size to Increase

• Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5 Service Pack 1
• Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you save a file attachment in the Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) client, the file size may increase by two or three bytes from the original file size.

CAUSE

This behavior is due to the manner in which the Web browser handles saving ASP files. Microsoft Internet Explorer adds two bytes, a carriage return and line feed (CR+LF), to the end of the file when it is saved. Netscape Navigator adds three bytes (CR+LF+LF) to the file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
