PC MAPI WRmt: Problems w/ Simple MAPI and Extended Characters
ID: Q98043
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.2
-
Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, version 3.2
SYMPTOMS
In version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, extended characters
(for example, greater than 127) are remapped if a message containing them
is placed in the Outbox using calls to simple MAPI, then examined in the
MSRMT store using FFAPI.
CAUSE
- This affects only extended characters.
- Every extended character is translated to another extended character.
The translation is systematic but has no obvious pattern.
- The translation is not related to code pages.
- FFAPI is not to blame.
- The Mail Remote for Windows Remote Driver is not at fault--the
contents of the Sent Mail folder are the same as what FFAPI
reports.
- There is no problem composing a message with extended characters
from the Mail Remote for Windows User Interface (UI) (using the
ALT+<any three keypad numerals> method), sending the message and
pulling it back again. The expected characters are displayed both
as they are entered and when the message is delivered.
- If you run the same experiment using Mail for Windows, the message
appears to be corrupt as soon as it goes to the Outbox.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Simple MAPI from
version 3.0, 3.0a, or 3.2 of Mail for PC Networks. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
