APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When fetching message body data which has html tag, some tags
  were added and converted
  wrongly.
  "<" character is being converted to "&lt;" but ">"
  character
  is not being converted to "&gt;".
  and added <font size="2"\>, and "\" character is added in the
  end of FONT
  tag(</font\>) too.
  
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  Scenario 1 -
  
  From Notes,  create a message with body data:
  a<br/>b<br/>c<br/>d<br/>e
  
  Message received by iNotes recipient shows OK.
  
  however when fetched as html via -
  https://host/mail/xxx.nsf/%28$Inbox%29/E
  A91E6A6ECBFD44A8
  5257EF80079F794/?OpenDocument&Form=l_JSVars&PresetFields=s_Handl
  eAttachmentNames
  ;1,s_HandleMime;1,s_OpenUI;1,s_HideRemoteImage;1,s_ProcessRR;1
  
  , the BodyHTML is not correct (it has problems noted above) -
  BodyHtml='<font
  size="2"\>a&lt;br/\>b&lt;br/\>c&lt;br/\>d&lt;br/\>e</font\>';
  
  From Notes, the body is Rich Text -
  
  Field Name: Body
  Data Type: Rich Text
  Data Length: 128 bytes
  Seq Num: 0
  Dup Item ID: 0
  Field Flags: SIGN SEAL
  
  a<br/>b<br/>c<br/>d<br/>e
  
  
  Scenario 2 -
  
  From iNotes, create a message with DBCS body data:
    <br/>?ó<br/>??<br/> ?<br/> ?                                 €
  
  Message received by iNotes recipient shows OK.
  
  
  however when fetched as html via -
  https://host/mail/xxx.nsf/%28$Inbox%29/C
  729126A6D3C51E48
  5257EF800153CD1/?OpenDocument&Form=l_JSVars&PresetFields=s_Handl
  eAttachmentNames
  ;1,s_HandleMime;1,s_OpenUI;1,s_HideRemoteImage;1,s_ProcessRR;1
  
  , the BodyHTML is not correct (it has problems noted above) -
  BodyHtml='<font
  size="2"\>  &lt;br/\>?ó&lt;br/\>??&lt;br/\> ?&lt;br/\> ?</font\*
  
  From Notes, the body is Rich Text -
  Field Name: Body
  Data Type: Rich Text
  Data Length: 138 bytes
  Seq Num: 0
  Dup Item ID: 0
  Field Flags: SIGN SEAL
  
    <br/>?ó<br/>??<br/> ?<br/> ?                                 €
  
  
  
  Note: the problem does NOT OCCUR if the same string is sent from
  iNotes to
  iNotes in a mail message body.  In this case, the Body field
  contains -
  
  Field Name: Body
  Data Type: MIME Part
  Data Length: 259 bytes
  Seq Num: 1
  Dup Item ID: 0
  Field Flags: SIGN SEAL
  
  "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

   charset=ISO-8859-1
  
  <font face=3D"Default Sans
  Serif,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size=
  =3D"2">a&lt;br/&gt;b&lt;br/&gt;c&lt;br/&gt;d&lt;br/&gt;e<br></fo
  nt>
  "
  
   BodyHtml='<font face="Default Sans

   fixed indirectly. so it is safe fo this roll back.
