Error Message

In the following screenshot from a Lotus Notes client, it is possible to see the 'empty' box supposed to contain the items related to the thread/conversation

In iNotes / DWA, 'No conversation history' appears above the message header

The "Display / Thread", "Display / Conversation" or "Show / Hide mail threads" actions actually reveal the content of the hidden views '$ThreadsEmbed' or '(Mail Threads)' (depending on the action and version), and these views are embedded with a setting to show the content of the current thread only, associating the open item to its parent and response documents via its UniversalID.

During the retrieval of an item archived by Enterprise Vault, the item shown to the users is actually a new temporary item, created in the Domino mail file of the user, with its own new UniversalID (as the original item / shortcut also still exists in the mail file with the original UniversalID), and therefore the embedded conversation history view remains empty as the item cannot be associated by UniversalID to its original parent and response documents.

The following workarounds can be used to view the conversation history of an item archived by Enterprise Vault:

1. In the Lotus Notes client, view the conversation history on the shortcut version of the item within the Inbox, All Documents view, or personal folders by enabling those folders / views for conversations (select 'Actions \ Conversations' from the menu bar, or 'Show \ Conversations' from the actions bar)
2. In the Lotus Notes client or iNotes / DWA, view the conversation history on the shortcut version of the item within the 'Mail Threads' view (select View\GoTo...\Mail Threads in the Lotus Notes client from the menu bar, or Views \ Mail Threads in iNotes / DWA from the mail file navigator)
3. In the Lotus Notes client or iNotes / DWA, restore the archived item, then open it and the conversation history will now display
