Exchange 2007 converts mails from/to html

Email Client: Exchange

Hello!

I'm connecting my Entourage 2008 over WebDAV to my employers Exchange server. Since the move from Exchange 2003 to 2007 I see two strange problems:

- All plaintext Mails downloaded from the Exchange 2008 are converted to HTML

- All HTML mails sent through the Exchange 2008 are converted to plaintext

It looks like the WebDAV connector on Exchange 2008 uses some "filtering" which alters (destroys my mails. Intensive Googeling showed two referencies in the net about the same problem - both were unanswered.

As a workaround I switched to POP / SMTP loosing the calendar and contacts sync to the Exchange account.

Is there any switch on the Exchange side to disable this behaviour? I'm working for a really small company and the mail administrator does everything for me ;-)

I've never heard of this problem before. I suggest posting your question
in the microsoft.public.exchange.admin newsgroup found here
<http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.exchange.admin>.

Hope this helps!

A similar thing happened here: I imported some plain-text MBOXes into a
vanilla Entourage, part of Office 2008 Student & Home (i.e. no Exchange
support!) only to have them transformed into HTML messages; the cached eml
files are tagged with "Converted to HTML from plaintext". Quite annoying.
