HTML issues in email client

We are experiencing two HTML issues since upgrading to 8.5.1 client (previously 7.03).

Issue #1 - Importing HTML containing tables - the size of the table columns are all out of whack. When importing via a Notes 7 client, no issues. I will happily provide an example file, if requested.

Issue #2 - Forwarding HTML emails containing images with hotspots lose their hotspot. Our marketing department creates emails for other departments to send out both internally and externally. When we were at v7.03, the requestor would receive the email created by Marketing and forward it or copy the email contents into a new email and embedded hotspots would be retained. Now that we are at v8.5.1, a forwarded HTML email containing an image with a hotspot created will not retain the URL text - basically it will still have the hotspot object but no data.

Adding 8.5.1FP1 does not fix this. Has anyone else seen similar issues?

Fix sporadic format issue in IBM Notes when forwarding or replying to HTML emails

When using IBM Notes 9.0.1 or earlier you most likely noticed formatting issues sometimes occur when attempting to forward or reply to HTML emails. This occurs when the HTML email contains advanced HTML code including CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). This issue is unacceptable especially if your company is receiving HTML CSS emails from a 3rd party service that must be manually forwarded to your customers. This issue can be resolved using the workaround below, but ideally IBM (ICS) must fix it in a future Notes release.

The workaround below provides instructions for creating a Notes button which you can send to the user. The Notes button can either be (1) pushed out as Notes Stationery to selected users via the Mailbox Stationery Manager tool - HCL Notes mailbox stationery management tool - share, copy, distribute, delete, report - Mailbox Stationery Manager - NotesMail - HCL Business Partner 📝, or (2) copy/pasted into an email which you can send to to anyone in your company who wants to use it as well.

FYI

This has been an issue for Notes clients 9.0.1 or earlier. Will IBM fix in Notes 9.0.2?
