Notes Client: 8.5.3Domino Server: none
OS: Windows 7 x64
Hello,
SCENARIO:
- creating an html email programmatically via the LotusNotes API (LotusScript).
This is done by adding the html source to a MIME body object. In addition a picture file gets attached (via MIME object) which is displayed inline (the CID/ContentID of the image attachment is referenced by an <img src= tag in html source code)
If I send the email programmatically via the LotusNotes API as well, then everything is fine at the recipient’s end.
PROBLEM:
If I save the Notes(Email)Document in the database and OPEN IT afterwards via the LotusNotes Client UI, then this results in a content format error, e.g. text that actually should be displayed bold (test) isn’t displayed bold anymore and so on.
If I send this email, in fact the html source code of the email that is being received looks nothing like the original html source code that was initially set to the body of the email.
2nd Problem: The attached (inline) image gets duplicated which results in an email of almost double size.
Any help on this would be apreciated, as one of our customers absolutely doesn’t understand why OUR SOFTWARE modifies their html content they want so send (and visually validating before).
They said we’re not allowed to do this. They also don’t understand why we don’t modify the html source when using Microsoft Outlook but we do when using LotusNotes.
regards
Andreas
p.s. sorry for not exactly specifying ‘platform’ and ‘relese’ in this post, but the available values in the dropdowns are utterly outdated (like ‘Notes 8.0.2’ and the newest Windows platform is ‘Vista’)
