Hi. Is it possible to programmatically change the filename field of the default Save As dialog box (called via GroupWise.ItemSaveMessageDlg) instead of using the subject line as filename? My problem is the default Save As function does everything I wanted correctly (attachments, non-unicode characters etc) except for the filename, so I’m not sure if I should write an applet from ground-up. Thanks!

Unfortunately, you can not change the default file name. ItemSaveMessageDlg() does not expose any parameters (it should).

Thanks. I followed the post and used ItemSaveMessage() with Mime type. But the attachments were not saved, and formatting of the mail contents were not retained. Are there other things that I should do before calling the method?

If you save to “Mime” format then it should save the attachments. We test the sample code and it works fine (i.e. attachments saved). We are running the GroupWise client 7.0.3 (08/03/2008). If you are running the earlier version then you may need to upgrade the client.

Just did some further tests. If the mail’s subject is in unicode characters, the subject appears scrambled when re-opened. Also, attachments with filenames in unicode characters also have this problem.

It may be a bug in Novell API on encoding and decoding the unicode characters. You may need to report to Novell API forum. Here are some links:

Thanks. Is ItemSaveMessage() a native GW API call or is it a Formativ function calling to some other GW APIs?

Its a native GroupWise Token, you can see a full list at: http://developer.novell.com/documentation/gwtoken/index.html?gwtokens/data/hj8ej8g5.html

To make easier for the developer, Formativ wrap most of the token. For example, you can call
GroupWise.ItemSaveMessage()

Formativ also provide option to call directly the token using the ThrowToken() method.
```
 
msgbox groupwise.throwtoken("ItemSaveMessage(""" & iMessageID  & """;""c:temptest.eml"";900)", iRetunVal)   
```
Hope this helps.
