Symptoms
When this issue occurs, you can see the fax email attachments in the email messages. However, the .tif or .tiff extension is lost and you cannot open the attachments directly.
Cause
This issue occurs because Exchange Server 2013 removes the file name from the Content-Disposition header. For example, the original header is Content-Disposition: inline; filename="fax.tif", and the new header is Content-Disposition: inline. Therefore, Windows cannot recognize the file and cannot select an application to open the file.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, install the following update:
2936880 Cumulative Update 5 for Exchange Server 2013
Workaround
To work around this issue, you can download the attachments, and then rename the attachments by adding a .tif or .tiff extension.
Status
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
