Local fix

Problem summary

  • An email gadget feature was added to IBM BPM V8.5 that uses a
    MIME attachment. In IBM BPM V8.5.5, this feature was incorrectly
    turned on by default as part of the new IBM BPM endpoint
    feature. As a result, the body of the email is blank and some
    mobile devices cannot open the MIME attachment.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 is available that restores the
    default email behavior prior to the new features being added.
