The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you send a message through the Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, you may
experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- When you view the message in a Microsoft Mail for PC Networks client, the
date on the message may appear incorrectly. This problem also occurs if the
MS Mail (PC) postoffice returns the message because it cannot be delivered,
and then you view the returned message in an MS Mail (PC) client. For
example, if the message is sent on January 1, 2000, the date appears as "a
700:00 relative to GMT" (without quotation marks) instead of "Jan 01 1:00:00
2000 -08:00 relative to GMT."
- When you view the date on the message in the Inbox, the date may appear
incorrectly. For example, if the message is sent on January 1, 2000, the date
appears as "12/10/09" (without quotation marks) instead of "1/1/00."
This problem is not likely to occur before the year 2000.
CAUSE
