MORE INFORMATION

To enable sending of ISO 8859-7 on an X.400 Connector, perform the following steps:

WARNING: Using the raw mode of the Exchange Server Administrator program (admin /r) incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows NT Server and/or Microsoft Exchange Server. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of raw mode can be solved. Use raw mode at your own risk.

Start the Exchange Administrator program in raw mode (Admin.exe /R).
Select the desired X.400 Connector.
Press SHIFT+ENTER. This displays a list of Object Attributes.
Search for "Translation Table Used". If this cannot be found, change "List attributes of type" to "All".

Click Set.
Click OK.

Inbound, ISO 8859-7 will be detected automatically.
