Sun Java System Messaging Server - webmail + ie7
Hello,
A html-mail cannot be read properly in webmail on ie7
(we use sun jes 2005 Q4)
Example HTML-mail (part):
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
Title from the mail
</TITLE>
<BASE HREF=3D"https://blabla.com/bla/bla.cgi/12817">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<a href=3D"50557219">RFC-ST1 Plaatsen Access-switches</a>
Proper link should be:
https://blabla.com/bla/bla.cgi/50557219
In IE7 it's crippled to:
https://webmail.blabla.com/50557219
In IE6, thunderbird it works fine.
What to do?
Ave,
Peter

Hi,
This appears to be due to a change made by Microsoft:
http://cfpurists.blogspot.com/2007/01/ie7-breaks-relative-urls.html
Given that webmail encapsulates the HTML inside another window this is possibly the cause in this case. I recommend that you log a support case -- although I should point out that at this point IE7 is not supported in 2005Q4 (since it didn't exist when the software was written).
Do you see the same behaviour with Mozilla Firefox and with UWC?
Regards,
Shane.

Hi,

When will IE7 be supported (and in which version)?
The next version.. which could be 6.3p1 or 6.4. Just because it isn't 'supported' doesn't mean we don't fix bugs. The difference matters if to fix the bug we have to make large changes to the base code and potentially disrupt/break other clients - something we don't do for "unsupported" clients.
Do you see the same behaviour with Mozilla Firefox
and with UWC?
No, they work fine.
I have logged a bug for this issue (bug #6540182 - UWC6.3 - HTML links don't use BASE HREF value when IE7 is used)
If you have a support contract I suggest you log a support case and get the bug escalated for a fix. Bugs with customers attached get fixed much quicker then those that don't.
Regards,
Shane.
