Don't edit server-side mail rules

Yesterday I created four mail rules on my server. Everything was fine until I edited one of them, then users could not send messages from applications that used @MailSend with IncludeDocLink. I checked and re-checked to make sure that the text of the message and subject was not in any of my rules, and it definitely wasn’t.

I disabled the rules one by one, saved the config, and issued a te router update config. It was only after I disabled all the rules that @MailSend would work with IncludeDocLink. I then tried re-enabling them one at a time, and if any were enabled the formula would fail.

This morning I deleted all those rules and recreated them exactly as they were (with the change I had made), and they work perfectly.

I read a post about this being a problem in one of the pre-releases but it is apparently lingering, at least on the iSeries.
