Reads like some sort of scribbler (some code writing to places it shouldn't
and effectively corrupting the message somewhere along the line). If you
have a complex system, try and isolate the fault to specific servers and/or
clients.

If you are au fait with Ethereal, see if you can spot at which point the
crud gets added. Another test might be to see what the e-mail looks like in
the "Sent" folder of the sender in case the client is generating a bad
e-mail.

The consider, are there any thrid-party add-ins in the system? Can you
remove them and see if they have an affect?

Have you run any diagnostics over the Exchange database? If you are using
non-local folders and the e-mails are stored on the central database, it may
be corrupt. Back it up and then run diags.

Hope this helps,

Paul,
Thanks for the reply.

Someone in the domain sends an email to someone else or to all with the
subject line Aflac.
The recipients sees ??Aflac.
Other stuff like:?? ????MDB Transport Queue Folder??

Also when they reply it adds other Japanese characters, square boxes, etc.

Thanks

Can you clarify, if someone creates an e-mail, are you saying that a
subject
miraculously appears with strange text?

Or do they receive e-mails with normal looking subjects and when they
hit
"Reply", the subjects change on their own?
