After upgrading to 6.0.1 I have noticed that all my Microsoft Word docs get sent compressed in .hqx format even though I uncheck compress. I have no clue as to what this is caused by and I am not certain that it is a notes issue, but I couldn’t think of anything else. Any suggestions?

I believe this is a Notes issue. It did not occur in 6.0, only happens after the uupgrade. If you use the “User Preferences|Mail|General|Encrypt mail that you send” option and switch on encryption then your attachment will not get compressed. If you are sending to another Notes client this is OK, but someone on another e-mail client, or the web client (iNotes) cannot read them. Looks like a bug to me.

So you are saying that you were able to reproduce the problem? If so then good, that makes me feel somewhat better.

I don’t think that it is a bug, just look at the client-location-document, see the mime-settings and you’ll see that outbound conversion of attachments for macintosh is set on binhex .hqx. use appledouble respl base64 to avoid this.regards

Thanks Frank - that fixed it. I guess the bug is that with the initial install on 6.0 it worked fine, only when I put 6.01 on as an upgrade did I get the problem (like Michael). For some reason the upgrade changed the setting.
