I'm running Exchange 5.5, in the IMS under the Internet Mail tab are 2
choices for Character Set Translation. I have set this to varios combinations
of of US-ASCII and ISO-8859-1. My problem is incoming mail with attachments
get sent to my IMCDATA/in/Archive folder and Event 4117 goes into my event
log. Microsoft says these are to be set to whatever the incoming mail is
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;230250 Most of my
mail is US-ASCII but still messages with attachments are sent to the archive
folder. Am I doing something wrong? TIA!
