email archive bug fixed

Several
OASIS members have noted an odd behavior of the MHonArc

software
which creates online archives using HTML versions

of
individual email messages.  In rare cases, the archiving

software would
split a message into multiple parts, creating

an
incomplete header for the other split messages.

 

The OASIS
IT staff has now patched the MHonArc software

responsible
for this problem.  Please send email notification

to
Technical Support () if you observe

any further
occurrences of this or any other software bug.

 

We
understand that members of the Technical Committees

depend
critically upon an accurate and complete historical

record in
the email archives.  We take seriously our obligation

to provide
this service, and apologize to anyone negatively

impacted by
the archiving glitch.

 

Plans are
now underway to repair the email archives, while

ensuring
link persistence (no URI references will be

altered in
the process of correction).

 

OASIS IT is
planning upgrades to the email system; this includes new

hardware
and software components designed to reduce latency and 

otherwise
improve system performance.

 

We strongly
encourage TC members to report any occurrences of 

problems in
email handling and archiving, as this feedback is 

critical to
the quality of service we can provide.

 

Thanks for
your ongoing feedback
