For MS Development Team - Subscription Issues

Hi,
I set up a standard subscription and am rendering the report to excel or
pdf.
After recieving the email, I open the excel or pdf report and it displays a
bunch of
garbage. SQL 2000 Reporting Services SP1 is installed. Our email system is
Novell GroupWise 6.5. Can you tell me if this is a bug?
One other item. When we include the link in the email, the link itself is
placed on two lines. The top line is a hyperlink and the bottom isn't.
Meaning, you can't click on it. We have to paste the top line in into the
address link and then go back and copy the bottom line and paste it after the
first. Is this a bug or is there a fix to this?
Thank you for your help!Please look to the following for a fix to the corrupted attachment:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];872774
As for the hyperlink, are you using Outlook Express? I have seen OE
incorrectly handle the link before.

our business. Our business requirements are to be able to render in any
available format via email using Reporting Services. Is this a bug and do I
need to contact support?

It is not specific to Lotus. If you are having issues viewing attachments
this fix is the most likely cause.

>>|||Thanks Mr. Reib. This did work. However, I was wondering if you had any
other ideas on the hyperlink question I had. When you include the hyperlink
in an subscription, only part of the hyperlink is a hyperlink, the rest of
the address is just text.
Thanks Again!

report, etc.) does get around the problem in some cases, but
unfortunately it is impossible to control what users select when they
create a subscription.
I want to make sure that people were aware of a third-party product,
Proposion Report Adapter for Microsoft Reporting Services and Lotus
Notes/Domino, that fixes this problem and a lot more. It not only
allows you to deliver reports via NATIVE NOTES MAIL, it also allows you
to use Notes/Domino as data sources for reports and/or allows you to
automatically deposit scheduled reports into Notes databases.) See
http://www.proposion.com/ReportAdapter.
