Technote Number: 1094731
Problem:
This issue occurs if the path and filename of the user's Mail file is listed in
the Location document with a forward slash (mail/user1.nsf) instead of a back
slash (mail\user1.nsf). If the user's Mail file is listed with a forward
slash (mail/user1.nsf), the Mail file will function correctly with the
exception of this encryption issue.
This issue was reported to Lotus Quality Engineering and has been addressed in
Notes 5.0.2, 4.6.5 and 4.5.7b. To workaround this issue in versions prior to
5.0.2, 4.6.5 and 4.5.7b, replace the forward slash with a back slash.
Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Release 5.0.2 QMR fix list:
Security
- SPR# PWIN457FQH - Fix potential security issue when a user had selected
"Encrypt saved mail". [5.0.2]
Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Release 4.6.5 QMR fix list:
Client
- SPR# PWIN457FQH - Fix a problem in which mail was not saved as encrypted when
the user expected it to be. Previously, if the User Preference for "Encrypt
saved mail" was not set and the user used the Delivery Options dialog to
encrypt mail for sending, the mail would not be saved encrypted if the user's
Location Document specified the mailfile pathname using forward slashes (/)
instead of backward slashes (\). The sent mail would be encrypted as expected.
