OWA and chinease chracters

[goodhead]

We are running exchange 2003 sp2

I've got a number of users complianing that when they send an email using OWA it will be recieved in chinease.

Doesn't happen to every one.

Only seems to affect OWA as i did a test email to same recipient using full outlook client and he replied saying it was fine.

Any ideas???/

I haven't managed to find anything about this, it must be something to do with character encoding. The only thin I have found is:-

Close Internet Explorer
Copy two files (dhtmled.ocx and triedit.dll) from c:\programs files\common
files\microsoft shared\triedit into c:\windows\system32

open command prompt
cd c:\windows\system32
regsvr32 dhtmled.ocx
regsvr32 triedit.dll

Is this on the exchange server?

If its on the users pc, i can't see our head teacher wanting to do dos stuff.

Yes on the machine, not the server, I would imagine you or your admin would have to logon and do the "DOS" stuff.

thats fine for school pcs but not practical for non techy staff. I'm not paid enough to go round there house sort it.

I have written a batch file to do what you said below.
The files you mention are on the xp pcs. my win 7 office pc does not have those files, but does have the triedit folder.
The users that have this issue i think are on vista or win 7.

Those that have xp can try my bat file.

Interesting - we had one bloke here who had his OWA in Russian - that followed him from machine to machine - we never found a real answer - he moved on in the end.
