Re: [ubl-csc] [Fwd: problem accessing oasis documents as generalpublic]

[Anne Hendry <anne.hendry@sun.com>]

Hmmm.  This is not a calendar entry, though.
Nor am I accessing it through the calendar.
This is an upload to the 'Documents' section
which I try to access through the email that
is automatically sent when I upload the document.
Have you had the same problem with that?

Thanks,
Anne
