View products that this article applies to.

Introduction

When the SMTP adapter sends an email message in which the subject line does not contain extended characters in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010, the SMTP adapter still uses MIME, Unicode, or Base64 to encode the subject line.

Note This behavior complies with Request for Comments (RFC) 2047 and RFC 2231. For more information about RFC 2047 and RFC 2231, visit the following Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) website:
General information about RFC 2047 and RFC 2231

This hotfix adds an option to let you disable the encoding of the subject line in the SMTP adapter of BizTalk Server 2010.
