MIME field contents removed when converted to CD

Subject: MIME field contents removed when converted to CD

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Notes Client

Technical Area: Application Development

Platform: Windows

Release: 8.5.2

Reproducible: Always

We have VB code in Outlook trying to add the contents of an email from MS Outlook into an existing Notes document. The Notes doc has a rich text item named "Body", which is in standard Notes rich text format (CD). The code below grabs the html from the Outlook email and creates a new Body field in a temporary Notes doc.

m_Session.ConvertMime = False
NotesStream = m_Session.CreateStream()
NotesStream.WriteText(AppendedEmailHTMLFromOutlook)
MimeBody = objNotesDocumentTemp.CreateMIMEEntity("Body")
MimeHTMLPart = MimeBody.CreateChildEntity()
MimeHTMLPart.SetContentFromText(NotesStream, "text/html; charset='iso-8859-1'", 1726)

It doesn't make a difference whether I have True or False for the session.ConvertMime, it never converts it. At this point I can save the temporary doc and the contents display as expected but the field is MIME and we want to append it to the end of an existing Notes doc which has a body field of rich text. If I attempt to convert it by appending text and saving, it just creates an empty Body field that is now of type 'rich text' with a space as the only contents.

rti.AppendText(" ")
objNotesDocumentTemp.Save(True, True)

I tried that trick from this page: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21160191

The other attempt to convert the MIME to rich text was to copy all items from this temp doc to another temp doc. But that didn't help either. I end up with an empty rich text item named Body. All that html MIME content just disappears.

This smae code works correctly on PCs with Notes 6.5 client, but won't for 8.5.2.

Is there a known work around?

Comments: The answer turned out to be an extra quote that was getting added in the html from Outlook. This made the html invalid.
