How to Make New Public Folder items appear as Mail Messages

[adeyw]

Dear All,

We're currently running Exchange 2000 and Windows 2000 - all latest patches.

I've created a number of public folders which are mail enabled - i.e. users can email postings directly into the folder.

Something strange is happening though!

When users within the Exchange organisation email the public folders, their postings appear in the public folders as 'mail messages'.

When people who are external to our Exchange organisation (from Internet web mail systems for example) email the public folders, their messages get through, but appear as 'postings'.

I want all contributions that are emailed to our public folders to be of type 'mail message'.

Any ideas appreciated!
Thanks,
Adrian.

This is a relatively well-known issue with EX2000:

Someone should write a FAQ.

That's great - thank you very much.
