Response to upgrade and backward compatibility

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

QUESTION:
- upgrade: is there an intention to support the old field values until such time as the user changes his preferences, or is there an automatic one-shot migration from the pre 8.5 settings to the new ones? (please the latter)

ANSWER:
The answer is the latter. The final release will have a one shot migration to the new feature.

QUESTION:
- is there any reason why it only works when the mail file is opened from an 85 client? It seems to work Ok there, but if I Open the mail file from an 802 client it seems to try to revert to the older method. Is that how it's intended to work?

ANSWER:
Yes, because we needed a new and more reliable method for inserting RT content from preferences RT Lite field to e-mail doc. Body field regardless of it's format (HTML, Graphics, etc...). This new code only exists in R8.5.
