LO43918: ENHANCEMENT: ABILITY TO DECODE VML ENOUGH TO PROPERLY CHANGE IMG SRC CID TAGS

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Outlook 11+ can send mime messages to domino that are VML
  encoded. Assuming the
  router does nothing to it (which is common with "keep in
  sender's format") then
  if the mail is viewed over the web domino will pass the VML on
  to the browser
  because it's put in a mime text/html content-type section.
  
  If a user is using IE then it will attempt to use this VML and
  any referenced
  images in it will not display because we did not convert cid
  (content-id)
  referenced images to image resources.
  Non-IE browser will ignore the VML and display the alternative
  HTML which did
  have it's cid's converted
  
  I believe this problem will only become more pronounced with
  time as more
  companies with MS users upgrade.
  
  My simple suggestion to resolve this is to expand the SGML
  parser to monitor
  for "<v:imagedata" and then convert the "src" tag within it  in
  the same way we
  do with "<img src" tags.  I have confirmed that the VML would
  display in IE
  when manually making such a change.
