WebDav Contacts: How to handle IMCEAEX email addresses...

Question

Hi!

So, I'm accessing an exchange 2007 server over webdav and downloading a user's contacts.  We're trying to translate these into a helpful UI so that we can show a user their contacts in a more friendly fashion.  I have recently run into a most unfortunate form of email address which I am uncertain how to translate into something more friendly, for example:

IMCEAEX-_o=IEX3_ou=Exchange+20Administrative+20Group+20+28FYDIBOHF23SPDLT+29_cn=Recipients_cn=[e-mail]

This appears to be an x.400 form of email address, but I'm boggled how to turn it into a more common email address to the user.  In this case, looking at this contact through outlook, I find that it displays "[e-mail]", which is the more friendly version of her email address.  However, nowhere in this email adress is there mention of the domain name "kiha.com", instead I see our routing email server, exch003intermedia.net.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Bram, this forum is for software developers who are using the Open Protocol Specification documentation to assist them in developing systems, services, and applications that are interoperable with Windows. The Open Protocol Specifications can be found at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc203350.aspx. Since your post does not appear to be related to the Open Protocol Specification documentation set we would appreciate it if you could try our 'Exchange Server Forums > General Discussions' forum at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrgeneral/threads instead to find the information you are looking for.
