Description

Christian,

I'm experiencing another issue with the current IAT,
but the software with which it is having the problem
(our Zimbra web-based mail user agent) was also recently
upgraded so the conditions are a bit muddled.

The short issue is that independent TEXTAREAs are associated
with the same edit file.

In Zimbra this has the (potentially really super nasty and
unfortunate) consequence that the content of mail addressed
to person 1 replaces the content of mail addressed to person 2
and is possibly therefore sent to the wrong person.

I cannot replicate this issue in our other major web-based
authoring software (MediaWiki) as each edited page there --
even replicated edited pages of the same name -- appear to
get uniquely identified edit files.

I'm wondering how you define the name of the edit file and
if the new version of Zimbra is somehow creating generic
edit popups that cause IAT to create the same filename.

I'm aware of this and so I'm trying to limit email authoring
to one at a time, but this seems potentially quite nasty.
