SharePoint (and Project Server) Shenanigans

At a client recently, we were having the issue of emails being sent to a list but the attachments were not appearing with the email.

In this scenario, it was working if we sent it directly to the list email address, but if we forwarded from Exchange via a contact, no attachments came through.

Anyway, it would appear the following needs to be set:

If attachments are missing from email messages that are sent to a SharePoint document library, it might be because you associated the document library with an email address. When you do this, Directory Management Service may not add the following two attributes to the user associated with the email address:

• internet Encoding = 1310720

• mAPIRecipient = false
