Recently I had a user report that every time they opened a message they would get an error dialog box "Type mismatch on external name: CSEVENTNOTES".

I tried replacing the design...didn't fix it.
After design replace, I ran Fixup -F, Updall -R, compact -c -i -L...didn't fix it.
I tried an old trick IBM told me a few years ago - Create an INBOXTEMP, move all the INBOX messages to it, replace the design with something like the Team Room Database, replace the design again with the mail template, move the documents from INBOXTEMP back to the INBOX...didn't fix it.

I found a document from IBM that I thought was going to save me:
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21282611

It was the final part of the tip (Option B), also validated at http://www.bleedyellow.com/blogs/JohnJardin/entry/avoid_annoying_errors_in_mail_and_calendar?lang=en, that finally resolved my problem:

1. Open your Application in the Domino Designer.
2. In the Top Menu, click on Tools\Recompile All LotusScript

Because I spent about 90 minutes trying to find a solution, I thought I'd share this here in hopes that someone else doesn't have to Google this error and have to dig far, like I did, to find a working solution.
