Hi,
Jeff, thanks very much for this email. It solved the problem we were
having with RTFM too when upgrading from 3.4 to 3.6 and trying to
extract RTFM articles. Has this been verified as a bug, or is there
possibly something wrong with my installation?
Currently running RT 3.6.4 and RTFM 2.2.0RC5. Also had the same problem
with RT 3.6.4 and RTFM 2.0.4. With this patch for now it appears that
all is working flawlessly.
Thanks to all on the list for help and to the devs for a great product
in RT and RTFM,
Dave
