1631.0. "Document Headers lost when reading Mail" by KERNEL::SALMONJ (Jason Salmon) Tue Oct 20 1992 10:57

Hi,
I have a customer who reports the following problem on ALL-IN-1 version 3 :

If you create a header in a CNTRL block in a wp document and attach it to a 
message with att the header cannot be read but if it is printed then it is 
still there.


Any ideas ?

Jason.

    And in V2.4... and in all (?) previous versions.....
    
    When Reading a document (whether attached to a message or not) from EM,
    the LIST function just shows the basic text - no formatting is done.
    
    When Reading a document from WP, the code does do a Format - and so
    the TOP, BOTTOM etc control blocks are obeyed.
    
    Problem? - None. EM is designed for speed and so doesn't do formatting.
    
    Do the customers want something different? - no problem.
    Either Print to Terminal - which will do the formatting required. Or
    change the Named Data of the EM READ option to be the same as the WP
    option.
    
    Cheers, Chris

Re: .1

In ALL-IN-1 V3.0 the decision to do a full format or a quick list is
determined by the primary document type (OA$CURDOC_TYPE being DOCUMENT or
MAIL) and not by the sub-system (WP or EM).  If you read a document from EM
it will be fully formatted, and if you read a message from WP a quick list
will be done. 

ALL-IN-1 V2.4 and earlier mostly worked as described for ALL-IN-1 V3.0.  We 
changed V3.0 so the decision is always determined by the document type.
