Application send out garbled subject after migrate from 2003 to 2007
We want to phase out the Exchange 2003 but some application still point that as a SMTP relay, Once we change application to Exchagne 2007 , application sent the garbled subject if that is not English. Suppose the subject line is Japanese or Chinese I read this article http://blogs.technet.com/b/stuartp/archive/2009/02/17/subjects-appearing-garbled-or-corrupted-when-they-are-encoded.aspx The subject char is more than 255 but even we tried to send out the subject is smaller, still have this issue In the header, I saw it is try to encode with UTF-8 =?utf-8?Q?=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; Any ideas? Is the client side (application issue) or the server doesnt decode correctly? I cannot see the correct subject in OWA/Outlook 2003/2007), so I dont think this is the outlook client issue. Thanks

I am trying to write a vbscript to replicate the error, it doesnt, but if I use powershell It didnt. I chekced it use 7bit to encoding, But I am thinking? Is the client said which way to encode or server make the decision?

But I had compare the Region and Setting between the old Exchange 2003 and new Exchange 2007. Any ideas? Thx
