Here’s the latest ridiculous Microsoft bug I’ve encountered. The way to replicate is as follows.

1. Reply to a message from someone in Japan (or other N. Asian countries) that uses Exchange Server 2003
2. Format your document with a lot of tables and other things
3. Send

For some reason, exchange 2003 panicks when you add tables into an email originally from someone in Japan, Korea or others. The explanation from microsoft is as follows:

The default MIME encoding in Exchange 2003 is 7-bit transfer encoding. The MIME encoding in some Asian languages must be set to an encoding method that is different from 7-bit encoding to wrap lines of text that contain more than 998 characters.
