Japanese DBCS characters are corrupted when you reply to or forward a message

View products that this article applies to.

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.
