Novell GroupWise 8
Novell Data SynchronizerSituation
Once you change a default language on your iPhone or add alternate as a second one, mails that you sync afterwards which have extended characters have problems within a message body. text in a subject field is displayed correctly. This happens when changing language in Russian or any of Asian languages.
A reason for changing a default language might be different. For instance you buy the phone abroad and then want to set it in your country locales or you prefer to use English instead of default language locales.
Resolution
The only way to get the phone working correctly with extended chars is to do a HW restore via iTunes application. In case you have also valid working backup prior changing or adding a language, you can use this version, too.
The fix is going to be included in Datasync version 1.2.

2. Go into Settings -> General -> International.
3. Here change present language, for instance from English to Russian or any Asian language ... This will cause iPhone to reboot with new language settings.
4. In GroupWise mailbox create a mail with extended characters. Use any international web page to copy / paste a text into a subject field and also in a message body.
