RE: [chairs] email archive bug fixed

Title: Message

Excellent.  I assume this was (or included) such behaviour if a 
paragraph in the message started with "From ", (and that I'm therefore one of 
the "several OASIS members :-)

 

However, please make sure the format of the archive stays the same (or 
give warnign of change) - the scripts used in the ws-bpel issues list 
page-scrape the html to find which messages should be linked from which issues. 
I think there may be others that do the same.

 

Of 
course, the eat-your-own-dogfood answer would be that there is also an xml 
archive, but html page-scraping does work (until it stops 
working)

  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
