Well done, It is good to get some positive news from IpSwitch.
Huh? What good news?
Allow me to "parse" the Ipswitch response to see if I can find this good news.
1. We know that there is a serious flaw in our webmessaging
2. We don't know how to fix it.
3. We will (plan? hope?) release a new product at some undetermined point in the future that will probably fix the current issue so when you are ready to spend between $4,000 and $9,000 with us on this new software you will find that we may have fixed some of this pesky reported problems.
Did I miss something or were you just being sarcastic too.
Regards Terence Blyth

Hi All,
We are very aware of the limitations in our current web messaging implementation, and while we have tried to address them where we could, we have acknowledged that there are places, that are very significant, where we can't fix the issues. As we look toward the future, our goal is to deliver new web messaging and collaboration functionality taking advantage of tried and true industry standards. We are very excited about delivering this new functionality, but do not have an ETA for its release. We will keep you posted on our progress.
Best regards, Jill Jones Product Manager, Messaging Ipswitch, Inc.

Would someone who has a current S/A please report this bug to Support. It seems it's less interesting if you haven't coughed up the $4K.

I just verified this. I have to agree that this is a serious bug.

I just installed 8.15, hoping it would work with attachments correctly. It didn't. There appeared to be a lot of mail handling (in IWebMsg) fixes the list, but my pet peeve is still broken. If a Text Email has an HTML attachment, IMail renders the HTML and NOT THE TEXT (unless you click on Printable Version).
THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED.
Here's the dangerous scenario (excerpted from my Bug report: Case: T200410280244):
IMail's web mail chokes on "Content-Type: message/rfc822". I just did a test with Microsoft Outlook 2K. I typed a simple message and dragged another message to it as an attachment.
My message does not display on the Webmail client unless/until I click the "Printable Version" button.
This is a VERY SEVERE error. Say a Microsoft spoof email came out with "in a command prompt, enter DELTREE C:\WINNT to update to XP 4K" or some such foolishness.
I send an email to my father saying:
"The attached email is crap. If you get anything like it, don't do it!
Your Son, the technonurd."
He receives the email, FROM ME!, opens it and it says:
"in a command prompt, enter DELTREE C:\WINNT to update to XP 4K"
How's he supposed to know to hit "Printable Version" to read what the message really says? If the "attached message" is HTML, the coversheet doesn't display except with Printable. Also, I see "------=_NextPart_000_037F_01C4BD03.2F63AEB0--" at the end of the html display, which also is wrong. It's just broken! If the attached message is plain text, it displays inline, even if the Preference is for a link. This is better, but still crap.
I cc'd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wonder what that'll do. Just in case they read this, I'm IL-600690

Release Notes: Details : o System-wide: Consistent handling of first, last, and full names has been implemented. - Rules for generating the fullname from its components are now consistent throughout the system. - If both first and last names are supplied, fullname = first + space + last - If only last name is supplied, fullname = last - If only first name is supplied, first name is copied to last name first name is made empty fullname = last (with value previously in first) - If neither first nor last is supplied userid is copied to last name fullname = last (with value copied from userid) - Rules for breaking the fullname into its components are now consistent throughout the system. - If the fullname contains a space, Everything up to the first space is copied to the first name Everything after the first space is copied to the last name - If the fullname does not contain a space Fullname is copied to last name First name is empty - In IAdmin, the first and last names are used to generate the Fullname field in the registry and to populate the gn, sn, and cn LDAP values if LDAP is running. - Previously, changes to LDAP attributes of gn, sn, and cn could be made independently of changing the Fullname in the registry. These changes are now synchronized when using IAdmin, LDAPer, and Web Messaging. - In Web Messaging, the LDAP fields of First, Last, and Common Name all still accept data, but the value entered in the Common Name field is parsed to create the gn and sn LDAP attributes...effectively ignoring the values entered in the First and Last fields. - Adduser now accepts names with or without spaces. o Anti-Spam: Content filtering is no longer applied to Trusted IPs in multiple message sessions o IAdmin: 0.0.0.0 is no longer accepted by the Access Control dialogs as a valid IP address. o IMAP4D32: OR command now properly handles SEARCHes. o IMAP4D32: Now correctly handles LISTing a mailbox specified with a trailing slash. o IMAP4D32: No longer incorrectly reports two INBOXes. o IMAP4D32: Corrected FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE handling of some messages with specific formatting. o LDAP: Can now store and retrieve Japanese names. The data is now UTF-8 encoded when using Japanese. o Mailall: Now calls Queue Manager instead of SMTP32 directly. o Web Messaging: The Fullname tag now returns the Fullname. Use the GivenName tag to retrieve the first name o Web Messaging: List Administration no longer incorrectly modifies the owner of a list. o Web Messaging: Fixes made to both B-Encoding and Q-Encoding logic to better handle Japanese text and filenames. o Web Messaging: Line breaks no longer cause text color changes under certain conditions. o Web Messaging: Improved handling of quoted printable content. o Web Messaging: Attachments are no longer renamed when Content-type is incomplete.
