Using the latest version of the connector it looks like bullets and numbering will disappear while sending from Notes to Exchange using a Lotus Notes 6.x client.

Is this a known issue?

When transferring messages between Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 and Lotus Domino, Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes must convert messages into a format that the receiving system understands. Because of the differences between Exchange Server 2003 and Lotus Domino, during the conversion there may be some changes to message characteristics in each environment. All formatting is maintained when Exchange messages in HTML format (Exchange's default format) are transferred to Domino.

  • When Exchange e-mail messages are formatted HTML (default setting), they remain in the HTML/MIME format when transferred to Domino.
  • When Domino mail messages are formatted HTML, they remain in the HTML/MIME format when transferred to Exchange Server 2003.
  • When Domino mail messages are formatted using the default setting, they are converted to Rich Text Format (RTF).

We currently pull our primary Lotus Notes directory (names.nsf) into an LNCONTACTS container. Ideally we would like this additional address book to be imported to a different container (INTERNAMES, for example).

If you need to import multiple Nab's into different containers you will need to use two connectors, one for each import container.
