Corrupted Japanese DBCS characters when you send a meeting request or post a reply to a posted item in a public folder in an Exchange Server 2010 environment

Article ID: 2733608 - View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Assume that you access a mailbox by using the Outlook Web App (OWA) in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment. Then you perform one of the following actions:

You create a meeting request that contains single-byte Kana characters and then send the meeting request.
You post a reply to a posted item that contains single-byte Kana characters in a public folder.

In this situation, Japanese double-byte character set (DBCS) characters in the meeting request or in the new posted item become corrupted.

Note If you check the value of the PR_INTERNET_CPID MAPI property of the corrupted item, the value is stamped as 50222.
