HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

The example code page includes the statement, "This agent removes the MIME entity or all MIME entities (in the case of a multipart MIME entity) from the current document."

So I feel pretty confident that when I run the following code, all the stored mime information for the concerned NotesItem should disappear.

Sub Initialize()
Dim s As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim item As NotesItem
Dim mime As NotesMIMEEntity
Set db = s.CurrentDatabase
s.ConvertMIME = False
Set dc = db.UnprocessedDocuments
Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument
If Not(doc Is Nothing) Then
Set item = doc.Getfirstitem("Body")
Set mime = item.GetMIMEEntity
If Not(mime Is Nothing) Then
Call mime.Remove
End If
Call doc.Save(True, True)
End If
s.ConvertMIME = True
End Sub

Well, this works fine, until the NotesItem contains a lot of information. At this point, not all the information is removed. In our situation, as the document has it's NotesItem recreated and removed multiple times, the document grows quite large with remnant $FILE leftovers that I assume are MIME data not removed.

Doing this in the 8.5.1 client and on Domino 8.5 ...

Initial save

After mime removal

After a few more cycles of testing, with the same content in the field as was there after the initial save
