SYMPTOMS
The images in a Web archive (.mht) file no longer appear when you view the .mht file in an operating system other than the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system where the .mht file is stored. Instead of the images, you may see an image placeholder, such as a blank box.
This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
- You created the .mht file by using Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects for Windows 2000 (CDOSYS) with the CreateMHTMLBody method.
- The file paths of the images in the .mht file contain a space or the "%20" blank space code.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the CreateMHTMLBody method does not correctly handle spaces in the file paths of the images. The CreateMHTMLBody method replaces spaces with the "%20" blank space code.
RESOLUTION
Note This resolution fixes only newly created Web archive files. This resolution does not fix any previously created Web archive files.
