Some embedded messages are corrupted when they are contained in a message that is sent from an Exchange Server 2010 mailbox address

Consider the following scenario:

• You turn off the 8bit-MIME setting and the binary-MIME setting on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport server.
• An email message is sent through the Hub Transport server to a remote mail server.
• This email message contains embedded messages.

 In this scenario, the embedded messages are corrupted when the recipient opens the email message.

This issue is caused because the affected embedded messages contains Content-Transfer-Encoding (CTE) values in binary or in 8bit. These CTE values must be downgraded to 7bit.
