An attachment incorrectly appears as the body of an e-mail message in Exchange Server 2007

In a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 organization, a user receives an empty e-mail message that has an attachment. However, the attachment incorrectly appears as the body of the e-mail message.

In Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, the same e-mail message correctly appears as an empty message body and a separate attachment.

This problem occurs if the original e-mail message is a MIME message that has no body and that has only one text or HTML attachment.

This problem occurs because Exchange Server 2007 handles the attachment by converting it to a message body.

To resolve this problem, install Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1. For more information about Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1, see the following Exchange Help topic: For more information about how to install the latest Exchange service pack or update rollup, see the following Exchange Help topic:
