Re: OWA and missing attachments



Hi Juha,

Thanks for your reply.

You said "The sender was exchange client". Is the mail send from Outlook
client in your domain or the e-mail is from another Exchange server?

If the problematic e-mail is sent by Outlook clients in your domain, you
can also try the following:

Step 1: URLScan can cause this issue. If you have URLScan installed on the
SBS Server, please uninstall it and try again.

Step 2: If you have Trend Microsoft SMTP Gateway installed, this can cause
problem. The Trend Microsoft SMTP Gateway that is used adds a disclaimer to
all email that passes through it. When it does this, it modifies the header
in a way that makes attachments unable to display in Outlook Web Access.
After removing the disclaimer, new emails with attachments display
correctly.

Step 3: This problem occurs because the Content-ID entry and the
Content-Location entry exist in the MIME message header. These entries
instruct OWA to interpret the attachment as an inline attachment or as an
embedded attachment in the body of the message. Because OWA expects the
attachment to appear as part of the message body, OWA removes the
attachment as a separate file. To work around this problem, use the Outlook
client to view the message.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

<I was able to finnish servrs POP3 / IMAP gonfiguration. After that I

<Suppose this kind of mailing is just too much for OWA. The sender was
