Consider the following scenario. An e-mail message from a Lotus Notes server is delivered to a server that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 through Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Connector for Lotus Notes. In this e-mail message, the recipient name includes double-byte character set (DBCS) characters. In this scenario, the display name of the recipient is broken in the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) one-off address in Exchange Server 2003. If you use Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Web Access to view the e-mail message, the display name of the recipient appears as a series of numbers, for example "=xxxx=xxxx=xxxx=xxxx". In this example, "x" is a number. However, you expect the display name to be "DBCS Name <user_name@domain_name.com>".

This problem occurs because Exchange Server 2003 Connector for Lotus Notes uses the wrong code to process the display name of the recipient when the connector processes the SMTP one-off address.
