Q192887: XFOR: MS Mail Connector Doesn’t Support Turkish Characters

Article: Q192887
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): winnt:5.5
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): exc55sp2fix
Last Modified: 17-DEC-1999

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========


When sending messages containing Turkish characters between Exchange and
Microsoft Mail using the Microsoft Mail Connector, translation errors can occur.
Sending from Exchange to Microsoft Mail, Turkish characters are incorrectly
mapped. Sending from Microsoft Mail to Exchange, Turkish characters are replaced
by "?".

This affects both the header and the body of a message.

CAUSE
=====

There is no "Turkish" option on the Interchange tab of the Microsoft Mail
Connector properties. Because of this, certain characters are converted to their
nearest English equivalents or are replaced by "?".

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
