SPRTechnote


Cannot open message in Domino Web Access if it contains attachment with colon/semicolon in file name

Technote Number: 1196617


Problem:
You must rename the file, excluding any colons or semicolons, before sending
the message.

This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# SOSI67UNVU, and is fixed
in DWA 7.0.2.

Currently, there are no plans to address the issue in the 6.x codestream.

Excerpt from the Lotus Noes and Lotus Domino Release 7.0.2 MR fix list
(available at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus):

SPR# SOSI67UNVU - Fixed a problem where attachments with a semicolon in the
filename could not be opened in iNotes/DWA.

extension, is present.

File Name: TestAttachment.xls

including the file extension, is present.

File Name: Test; Attachment.xls

file extension.
