Plain Text Message from Outlook being converted to RTF thru Gateway

Hi,
I have the GW Gateway running in a Proof of Concept environment.
When GroupWise users send Plain Text format messages thru to Exchange,
the message is delivered in Rich Text Format.
HTML format is honoured through the gateway - i.e. HTML format messages
from GroupWise are delivered in HTML format.
Is there any way - switches, etc - that we can stop the conversion to
RTF thru the gateway? My users noticed this during testing when then
discovered they can edit the RTF message body in Outlook.
Thanks for your help

There might be a resolve bug that would effect this positively for you.
Bug 403443 - Exchange Gateway conversion issue with RTF from Word. and Tid 7001088
if your code is older then 7-14-08 then it might be worth trying some later code to see if this bug fix helps you.
There is a Testing build that you can try. There are also several people using this testing code so I am not concerned if you try it and use it.
The most current version of the gateway can be downloaded at ftp.novell.com/outgoing/groupwise_exch_7.0.1_2008.07.22_us.zip
good luck!

  • Formatting plain text messages

    Is there any way to write plain text so that Outlook will turn certain words into a specific hyperlink or will format other words (bold and/or underlined) when it displays the message?  Specifically, I am using the "additional text" field
    of a resource mailbox in Exchange 2010, which is plain text.  If I type a URL into the text (e.g., http://www.somesite.com), Outlook will pick up on that and format that text as a working hyperlink in the message the recipient sees. 
    From this plain text input, I would like to be able to have the recipient's Outlook format a specific phrase as a hyperlink.  For example I want Outlook to format the words "Click here" to be a working hyperlink to http://www.somesite.com
    without actually displaying the URL in the message.  Additionally, I would like to be able to have Outlook make other words or phrases bold and/or underlined.
    Is it possible to write plain text so that the recipient's Outlook would pick up the desired formatting and display it the way I want?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi,
    As we are talking about Plain text, we can neither add hyperlinks to text nor format the text, Plain text doesn't support bold, italic, colored fonts, or other text formatting.
    If you are editing a HTML or Rich Text email, I suppose you can try Quick Parts or AutoCorrect feature, either may meet your need:

  • Is it possible to sync text messages to Outlook 2007?

    Just went from the Moto q9c to the Blackberry 8130 and so far it is great.  One thing that I would like to do is sync text messages to Outlook so they are backed up as well as easily available for viewing at a later date.
    Is there any way to do this?  I am aware of being able to backup the device, and reload a previous backup but don't feel this to be very...user friendly.
    Thanks.

    Well, yes and no.
    There are a couple different ways to get your text messages off of your phone.
    The first (and free) way to get your text messages off your phone is to forward them as an e-mail to your e-mail address.  Depending on how many sms you have, this could take a while.
    The second option is to download a 3rd party application to copy the text messages over.  One is ABC Amber Blackberry. 
    Have Fun!

  • HT3529 My wife and I both have an iphone.   We initially created it under her apple id.   We will receive each others text messages from certain people not all.   Any ideas why and what we can do to stop it

    My wife and I both have an iphone.  We initially set them up under one apple id account.  When we text sometimes we will receive each others text messages from others.   Example I will text a friend...she will not see my text but the reply comes to both of us.  It seems to be random which ones.  Any ideas how to correct this

    Yup, get your own AppleID.
    The messages that are being sent to both phones are technically not text, they are Apple's iMessage. They use the data part, not the texting part. So if you have an iPad or a Mac computer, you can send/receive the iMessages there too.

  • I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

    I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
    Problems: Suddenly ALL  incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive)  other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
    Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem  solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
    I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before.  Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

    I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically.  The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

        This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone.   I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
    If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
    1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
    2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
    3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
    4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
    Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

  • What is the best product to retrieve deleted text messages from someones phone that are a month old

    What is the best product to use to retrieve deleted text messages from someones phone a month ago?

    The only way to retrieve a deleted text message would be to restore a backup created after the message was sent but prior to the message being deleted.
    There may be programs that can extract this information directly from the backup files themselves, google for possible solutions.

  • Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit...

    Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit 7.1.18.0 to my Nokia 5800
     I am trying to import a csv file that contains text messages (Note that this file was created using PC Suit 7.1.18.0) to a subfolder that I have created to My Folders but PC Suits only imports the text messages to the Draft folder. Note that initially it shows that the messages are import in the correct folder but after a refresh it shows them in the Draft Folder. Is their any setting that I should change in the PC Suit or the phone? My computer runs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the Nokia 5800 was upgraded to the latest firmware v20.0.012
     Thanks for your help

    Most phones only allows importing of draft and archived box for SMS.
    To do a restoring, you need to backup the SMS as a .nbu file using PC Suite and restore later.
    If you got an SD card, you can also do a backup on the SD Card (backup.arc) then restore later (reset and restore: backup.arc and mmc).

  • I got text messages from iCloudreport regarding my lost iphone , are they scams?

    I lost my iphone two month ago and I got a lot of emails from "Find my iphone" saying that my phone has been found in at least three other different countries. Today I received a text message from a unknown phone number saying that: "Find my iphone service: your iphone 6 64Gb Gray lost/stolen has been found. You can reclaim it now at: https://icloudreport.com/?imk=3544070.....(8 more numbers)...., Apple Inc. " I clicked the link, it led me to this address"http://icloudreport.com" it looks the same as icloud home page. I feel this is suspicious because I really did not put any hope on my lost iphone been found. Is this a scam?
    I then rechecked the emails that I received in the past and I found that some early emails I received are from "[email protected]". The link in this email direct me to "losticloud.com"  while the most recent emails are from "[email protected]" and the link in this email direct me to "icloudreport.com" (which is the same as that in the text message). Is any of the email I got is scam? I remembered I did login through the emails so I'm a little worried.

    It's all fake. If you had set up 'Find My iPhone' you could find the phone yourself, provided it's on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. If you didn't set it up you can't locate the phone and neither can anyone else. The emails are phishing, trying to con you into giving away your login.
