Symptoms

In a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 organization, you are running workflow applications that access multiple mailboxes and that process email messages automatically. Some of these messages contain attachments. However, you discover that some of these attachments are not visible in Microsoft Outlook and other MAPI clients. Therefore, the workflow apps do not process the messages as expected. Additionally, because users don't see the attachments, they may forward messages that contain sensitive attachments to external users.
