Since 80% of my users are primarily DWA users I get feedback on the slightest thing wrong.   When I upgraded my servers to 7.0.3 last week they noticed a problem viewing emails.  It turns out there is a bug that truncates the sender address after a comma when viewing or printing an email (of course the comma is in the quoted "alias" part of the address).   Anyone else run into this?

So I submitted a PMR and, sure enough, this was a known issue.  Tech support rendered a hotfix for me for Linux (DWA Hotfix Pack 280.081) which I installed this morning.

This is the 4th or 5th DWA hotfix I've installed, and each time I'm impressed at how easy it is.  It's simply a matter of replacing a half dozen files (5 in my case) on the Domino server.  The cool thing is all you do is stop the HTTP task,  rename the old files (for backout purposes), copy in the new files,  set the attributes & file owner info, then restart the HTTP task.  That's it!

If you are new to DWA hotfixes,  I recommend you thoroughly digest the readme.txt that comes with the hotfix.  It is 8 pages long, and unfortunately it is in plain text, so all the sections run together.  What I do is delete the sections that are for the other operating systems.  This reduces what I really need to just 1 page.   I really wish they would deliver this in a better formatted file that makes it easy to decipher just the parts you need.

I'm also curious about how little I see written or referenced regarding DWA.  Not much in the blogs.   The new DWA Lite was mentioned at Lotusphere, but that's about it.  

So is anyone else out there using DWA as much as I am?
