Environment

Novell GroupWise 8 HotPatch 1
Novell GroupWise 32 bit Linux Client

Situation

Viewing some hyper links in the Linux client causes links to become broken.
Clicking links does not always take user to expected page, but to a incorrect/unintended or unexpected page.
Broken links are not directing to correct URL in the browser.

Resolution

A fix has been provided into GroupWise 8.0.1

Workaround:

Drag and highlight desired link, copy it, and paste it directly into the browser.  Clicking the link in the email will probably result in going to a unintended page.

Additional Information

The problem may have been related to the issue found in KB 7002270.  It only appears to impact plain text messages.
