Fix body length bug

Fix bug when sending mail with more than 32k body

Mail is not sent if mail body length is more than 32k (applies to versions 3.0.0, 3.1.0 and 3.2.0). This fixes the bug.

Open lib/notescli3/Mail.py file and find following line: if newMailDocument.replaceItemValue("Body",body)
Replace the above line with two lines below:
richTextBody=newMailDocument.createRichTextItem("Body")
richTextBody.appendText("%s" % body)
Save and close file.

Fix replicate bug

Fix bug in replicate command

Replicate command does not work if --server is not specified (applies to version 3.0.0, 3.1.0 and 3.2.0). This fixes so that NotesCLI informs error if --server option is not specified. Details here.

Open lib/notescli3/Mail.py file and find following line: if server==None or server=="":
Delete line below and add following instead:
Output.println("[ERROR] Replication server must be specified.")
return -101
Save and close file.

Fix CC bug

Steps to fix bug when sending mail with CC addresses

There is a bug in versions 3.0.0, 3.1.0 and 3.2.0 that sends email with CC-address to unknown/wrong recipients.

Use the following steps to fix it:

Open Mail.py file in lib/notescli3-directory
Find following line: for cc in ccList:
Add following line before the line you found in previous step: ccList=ccList.split(",")
Similar steps for bcc: find following line: for bcc in bccList:
Add following line before the line you found in previous step: bccList=bccList.split(",")
Save Mail.py and test.

NotesCLI and Jython 2.5

Jython 2.5 was released quite recently. I tested NotesCLI with it but it does not work. So do not try to use Jython 2.5.

Add Principal

Add --principal option

Add new --principal option to NotesCLI. Can be applied to NotesCLI versions 3.0.0, 3.1.0 and 3.2.0

Go to NotesCLI installation directory.
Open file config/notescli3.cfg.
Find line with text "send.--replyto".
Add following line below "replyto" options
send.--principal!: Override email sender. Remember to add Notes domain after email, for example: sender@somewhere.com@NotesDomain.
Open file lib/notescli3/Mail.py.
Find line "sender=session.getUserName()".

Add following after the searched line:

  principal=Util.getOptionValue("principal", cmdOpts)
  if principal is not None:
    newMailDocument.replaceItemValue("Principal",principal)

Verify the indentation of the inserted text.
View help using --help option. You should see new principal-option in send-command
Send mail using command:notescli.cmd send --to=recipient@mail.com --principal=Somebody@somewhere.com --subject="test test" Recipient should get mail where sender appears to be somebody@somewhere.com.
