Symptoms
Assume that you're using Microsoft Outlook to either reply to a message or forward a message that's sent from one of the following environments:
-
Microsoft Exchange Server 2013
-
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
-
Microsoft Exchange Online in Office 365
In this situation, Japanese double-byte character set (DBCS) characters that appear in any of the following fields of the message become corrupted:
-
The display name of the sender
-
The display name of the recipients
-
The subject of the message
-
The file name of an attachment
-
The message body
This issue occurs if the field contains single-byte Kana characters.
Note This issue also occurs in posted items in public folders.
Cause
This issue occurs because the value of the PR_INTERNET_CPID MAPI property of the message is stamped as 50222 by Exchange RPC Client Access service or Outlook Web App. Because of a restriction in Outlook, the code page 50222 characters are corrupted.
