Notes 7.0.1 upgrade woe – background image now tiling

We have a custom application with numerous forms where each form has a small background image that doesn’t tile and hence should sit up in the upper left corner as shown below.


After upgrading to Notes 7.0.1 the image now tiles and hence the form looks a little different. Nothing has changed in the application and the application works perfectly on Notes 7.0 and Notes 6.5.4.

The funny thing is that the issue is consistant across the same set of documents but not all documents displayed through the form seems to be “infected”. The documents in the database are initially copied from user mail databases. During the copy process all fields except the Body and MIME related fields are removed and some new fields are added.

After messing a little around I think it has to do with small differences in the initial MIME to CD conversion at the SMTP server task. It issue seems to be sender specific. Strange…

We have halted the rest of our Notes 7.0.1 deployment.

Update: Seems like I’m not alone in my Notes 7.0.1 problems. I see that Bruce, Vince and Chris also had problems…
