We are using Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 running on Windows 2000.
Clients are either Outlook 2000 SP3 on Windows 2000 SP4 or Outlook 2003 SP1
or SP2 running on Windows XP SP2.
All clients which receive certain emails overnight from Taiwan hang and have
to be killed in the morning. Before killing the process you can see in Task
Manager that two Outlook processes are present but only the main outlook
window is visible and this doesn't refresh. My suspicion is that the other
process is some sort of invisible dialogue box that maybe prompting for font
installation or something similar.
We have narrowed the problem down to the attachment file names which include
Taiwanese characters which cannot be displayed correctly by Outlook. The
attachments themselves have Taiwanese characters which are visible in Word
(the attachments are word documents). By renaming the attachments using
normal European characters and resending the otherwise unchanged email, no
problems are encountered.
How do we solve this?
Regards
Andrew
