Environment

Novell GroupWise 7
Novell GroupWise 32 bit Client

Situation

You compose new HTML formatted mail and include a picture inside a message body. After the mail is sent, the picture is striped off the mail body.

Resolution

Reported to the development.
A reason behind it is a name of a directory with extended characters in a path where a picture is located in a directory structure. A workaround is to locate the picture outside of a directory structure with a name having extended characters. 

Additional Information

Steps to duplicate:
 
1. Create on your WS in C:\ drive a directory called "täst", for instance.

3. Start GroupWise client and compose new HTML mail.
4. Insert inside a message body the picture from c:\täst directory.
