SYMPTOMS

An ISO6937 bodypart from OSIWare containing a banner for "OSIWARE" may come through with <LR><CR> inserted at unexpected places.

CAUSE

OSIWare chops Unix files into 256-byte chunks and pours them into the Context(0) octet strings that make an ISO6937 bodypart. The gateway ignores the Unix line ends (LFs), since it isn't looking for them, and when it comes to the end of a chunk it supplies a CRLF, since the chunks are supposed to be lines and it is the job of the receiving MTAs to supply line ends.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft believes that there is a problem with the OSIWare implementation. No workaround is possible on the Microsoft side. Please contact OSIWare if you encounter this problem.
