Some embedded messages are corrupted when they are contained in a message that is sent from an Exchange Server 2010 mailbox address

• You turn off the 8bit-MIME setting and the binary-MIME setting on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport server.

• This email message contains embedded messages.

�In this scenario, the embedded messages are corrupted when the recipient opens the email message.
