If you use a pre-GroupWise 8 Windows client to access a GroupWise 8 post office, address book
entries display correctly, but name completion and searching do not work. If a user users a pre-
GroupWise 8 Windows client to add entries to a personal address book, name completion and
searching do not work for these entries when that user updates to GroupWise 8. The Contents Check
feature of GroupWise Check has been enhanced to repair problems with personal address books that
might be introduced by running an older Windows client after a post office has been updated to
GroupWise 8.
13.1.3 Default MIME Encoding Change
After GroupWise 7 Support Pack 1, the GroupWise client started using UTF-8 instead of ISO for
MIME encoding. This causes occasional problems in some languages where GroupWise 6.5 clients
are being run against GroupWise 7 or 8 post offices. To help with the transition, a Support option has
been added to GroupWise Check (GWCheck) to convert user databases back to the ISO encoding
for your language.
