We have updated this applet some time ago to fix this bug but unfortunately we haven’t publish this version to cool solutions. I will inform the person-in-charge to publish this version soon.

In the meantime, I have emailed you the updated applet. Please save the updated applet into default Formativ applets folder, usually c:my documentsadvansysformativapplets.

Hope this helps.

I am guessing you are using groupWise 7 client. Can you re-produce the same behaviour in different GroupWise folder?

The “Delete attachments from selected messages” solution will delete the original message and re-create a message without the attachments and preserve the original message settings (i.e date, subjects, from, etc).

I have tested the solution today with GroupWise 7.0.1 (build date 14/12/2006) and it seems working as expected. I have selected messages from cabinet folder and root “Home” folder (i.e “Bill Smith Home”). Please see below some questions and suggestions:

• I have set the “All Items” settings for the “Home” folder to view the messages (Select “Home” folder – change Display to “All Items”). What is your display settings for the “Home” folder?
• What is the build date of your GroupWise client (see Help- About GroupWise)?
• You said “when I use it the message disappears completlely. When I search for the message it finds it in ‘Paul Sherry Home’ and I can open it from the search dialog but it doesn’t show up in my mailbox.”, can you see the messages in “Paul Sherry Home” without using the search dialog? Where was these messages before you execute the solution (i.e “Paul Sherry Home” or mailbox folder)?

If I set my view to “Paul Sherry Home Custom Settings” the messages don’t appear. If I go to View, Display settings, Edit/Create then change from “Paul Sherry Home Custom” to “All Items” my panels disappear and I get a folder list including Fromative Portals, Drafts, Sent Items, Mailbox, etc. The messages that I removed the attachments from are listed at the bottom but none of my other messages from my Mailbox are there.

The view you are seeing is correct. “All Items” view of the “Home” folder should display all sub folders and any messages in that folder. It will not display any sub folder messages (i.e mailbox).

If I do the same thing in a folder under my cabinet it successfully deletes the attachment and leaves (or recreates) the message. I tried it again in my “home” folder and the message disappeared.

Please provide some details about how you tried the solution with “Home” folder. Have you selected the messages from the “Home” folder or “Mailbox” folder when the messages disappeared?

I suspect it may be something environmental or account specific. Can you re-produce the same behaviour in another account? Another thought, may be you create a personal folder and drag messages you want to remove the attachments into the folder then execute the applet.

Hope this helps.

I read the post dated 12/4/2006 re the To: information on the e-mail is wiped out. The reply was that the applet was updated to fix this. I downloaded the applet today and when I delete an attachment from an e-mail the To: line information was wiped out, but in my case the To line was blank. I tried it three times with the same results. We are using GW 7.03. My Windows version is Vista SP1. I would think that this applet had been updated on the formative site by now so why am I having almost the same problem as posted on 12/4/06? Is there anyway to correct this. I would like to install this applet on each of our users machines (all using Windows xp), but cannot do it until this problem is resolved. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Barbara
