  • In an Exchange Server 2010 environment, User A is the delegate of a resource mailbox.
  • User B sends a meeting request that contains French characters (or other special characters) to the resource mailbox for booking.

In this situation, User A receives the meeting request. However, the French characters in the message body of the meeting request are displayed as question marks (?).
