This is a Microsoft problem, but they have no incentive to fix it.  There is an \
enhancement request on the Micro Focus Ideas site asking for a solution within \
GroupWise.  Vote for it here if you haven't already:  \

Ken- I think so too.  We have this issue with Sister agencies periodically. There is \
a way to globally change that for exchange administrators I'm told.

Then I wouldn't be surprised if it was the TNEF issue Bruce mentioned.  That is a \
common way to fix that problem.

The resolution was to have the sender delete and recreate the contact for the person \
who could not see the HTML that he sent.

I'm not sure, I'll mention this to them. One thing I can consistently make fail, is \
Forward as Attachment. They can only see to/from/subject of the attached forward. I \
even duplicate on my phone (google pixel).. attachment comes in as a .eml and I don't \
get message body. This one seems oddly familiar..

Could this be related to the Outlook client being set to use TNEF (Rich Text format), \
which is on by default, instead of straight HTML? \

I'm not sure if this is the same issue.. but I'm getting reports of a certain law \
firm that are unable to view SOME emails from us, as well. I'm on the phone with \
their IT department and we're trying to duplicate/troubleshoot. When I Forward as \
Attachment, he said one of the emails showed up as blank. I sent the same email with \
"Forward" and he was able to see it. 

They use outlook and some spam filter there (websense, maybe, forcepoint..) 

Is this the same behavior you describe? If so, this could be a GW bug.. in the client \
and/or gwia? 14.2.2 here as well

My guess is that if you were to look at the Message Source tab on the
message on both users, the content types are different.  That is to say,
for the recipient who sees the mail correctly, the Message Source tab
will show "Content-Type: text/html" - but the recipient who cannot see
the HTML version will show "Content-Type: text/plain" instead.

I am assuming that the one sender from whom this is a problem is coming
in off the Internet.  If the sender were internal to GroupWise, I cannot
imagine how that could happen.

There were screen captures in this email, that did not make it to the
list.

The end user has client version 14.2.2 build number 12868 (4/3/2017). 
Default read and view are set to HTML.  When reading the email in
question, the user has the HTML option grayed out.

I went and looked at the email coming in to the SPAM filter and noted
that the email going to the end user was larger than the same email
carbon copied to the other user in the office (who sees the email
correctly.

I have a user that can receive HTML email from inside the office and
from sources like Gmail. But one sender that sends regular business
related email in HTML will not display. The client is:


The view settings are:


When viewing the email, the HTML option is grayed out.


Now the strange part, others who are copied on the email can see it as
HTML.  I had the user try logging into a different computer, web access
and through the GMS on his iPad and the email is plaint text.

This has me stumped.  Where should I look next to see if I can fix
this?
