Tip 504: Hotfix for Outlook 2003 BCC MIME Bug

If you use Outlook 2003 on Vista you may have noticed some messages have the header in the message body, often when you were BCC’d on the message. There is now a hotfix for this (and other issues) available from Microsoft.
 
For more information see:
Description of the Outlook 2003 hotfix package: April 22, 2008
//support2.microsoft.com/kb/951982
 
If you don't have a support contract, you may need to open a support incident to get the hotfix, but you can try this method first:  Call 1-800-936-4900 (press 3 for hotfixes) and tell them you're calling to obtain the hotfix described in KB [number].
 
If you correspond with Mac users and have issues with attachments, see
In Office Outlook 2003, you cannot open Macintosh binary attachments after you install security update MS08-15
