Resolved issues in Audience Manager and Outbound E-mail

The following issues were resolved in Audience Manager and Outbound E-mail in 2009.

Multiple attachments
To ensure that an attachment would be sent both to recipients of HTML-formatted and to recipient of plain-text e-mails, a user would need to attach a file twice. This also meant that recipients of multipart e-mails would receive the same attachment twice. This is now no longer the case. Also, attaching multiple (different) attachments would not work under certain conditions.
Creating new Contacts updated existing Contacts
Under certain circumstances, while importing Contacts, Outbound E-mail would update an existing Contact even though the user specifically instructed to only create new Contacts.
Outbound E-mail services failed to start if SQL Server was not yet ready
On fast servers, Outbound E-mail services would fail to start because they would attempt to start before Microsoft SQL Server was started. This problem now no longer occurs.
Adding Outbound E-mail Groups to User Groups would fail
While it was possible to add specific groups of Outbound E-mail rights (that is, Mailing Execution, Mailing Management, Contact Management and Distribution List Management) to a specific user, granting such rights to Groups did not work correctly. This issue is now resolved.
Updating Contacts was not transactional
When using the Java Contact API to update Contact details and extended details, overlapping updates would cause problems because the updates were not transactional. This is no longer the case.
Opening a Contact in Outbound E-mail generates a warning message in the Event Viewer

When opening a Contact in Outbound E-mail a warning message was generated in the Event Viewer. Although the functionality of Outbound E-mail was unaffected, the situation lead to the growth of these warnings in the Event Viewer.

Opening a Contact from Mailing statistics

You can view the statistics of a Mailing in the Mailing Status window. When you open a Distribution List that was part of the Mailing, you can now select and open a Contact that was part of the Mailing to view their details.

Saving a Contact filter in Internet Explorer
In Internet Explorer, when you performed a search on an Address Book and consequently saved the Contact filter the name and description fields in the Choose item to save behaved erratically: tabbing between them doid not work, and when you copied and pasted values into the fields old value suddenly appeared.
Deleting multiple Distribution Lists or Segments
When you deleted multiple Distribution Lists or Segments, the system hung unless the user was a system administrator. When you canceled the action, an invalid uri message was thrown by the Content Manager system instead of the Audience Manager system.
JNDI storage configuration
Audience Manager previously did not work correctly using JNDI storage configuration.
Editing a Contact
If you open a Contact, add some text, remove what you have just added, then save and close you will get the following error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Send Mailing screen shows 0 e-mails in queue
In the Send Mailing screen, the E-mails in queue field always stated 0 even after re-opening the Send Mailing screen (incorrect reporting).
Contacts in Mailing Statistics in Internet Explorer 7
In Internet Explorer 7, in the Statistics tab of a Mailing, when you selected Show Contacts no Contacts were displayed.
Adding and removing E-Mail Campaign saves automatically
When you used the Add or Remove buttons on a Mailing in an E-Mail Campaign and closed the Campaign without saving, the changes were saved without clicking Save.
Drop-down options in Contact Detail not translated (French)
On the Contact Details screen, the options in the drop-down lists were in English on a French system.
