Improved handling for attachments not using UTF-8 encoding
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
When an email was received that used a charset encoding other than UTF-8, special characters in the HTML body were not displayed and instead the replacement character was shown. To resolve this, the system will read the encoding from the email rather than use the meta tag, and will add the attachment's HTML encoding information in Data-WorkAttach-File so that the same can be used to process and display the original HTML properly.

Performance improvements for opening cases with embedded images
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Opening cases containing email interactions was taking an excessive amount of time. This was traced to the use of embedded images, icons, etc, in the message body and signature, and was caused by the pyGetAttachmentsbyCID activity running multiple times due to discussion threads that were duplicated over and over. In some cases, more than 360 calls to the database were seen. This has been resolved by shifting some case opening processes to executing when the listener thread gets the mail, and storing the results in a .pynote property, and a URL will be used to get images instead of embedding them directly to the HTML. If preferred, this can be reverted to the previous behavior by changing the when rule (pyUseCachedHtmlForDisplay) to false.

Removed redundant Microsoft Outlook email interaction chain
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When opening an email interaction case, the email editor user interface area showed the complete email chain of the email for every new message that came in related to the case. This was traced to the difference in the selectors that various email clients use to construct a response to an email with email history in it, and has been resolved by updating the selectors for Microsoft Outlook in pyRichTextEmailHistorySelector so no conversation is repeated when using that client.

Entity Detection prefers first detected entity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Entity detection shown in the "Training data" tab of the email channel did not match with the results of running the corresponding text analyzer rule. This occurred when a single piece of text was detected as multiple entity values, which led to the last entity detected being picked for case mapping because of the unclear scenario of duplicate entities. To resolve this, pxmapresponseentities has been updated to prefer the first detected entity.

Page data preserved for WebChat timeouts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Attempting to change the font size in Webchatbot after the interaction time-out resulted in a DisplayError screen. This was traced to the page data not being available, and has been resolved by preserving workPage and newAssignPage for this use.

Corrected portal image display for authenticated request
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Email images for the user portal were not displayed in the browser but were showing correctly in the manager portal. The URL to the image was the same in both cases, however for the user portal the URL request was requiring authentication. This has been resolved by updating the API to use currentsessionURL.

More responsive attachment loading for interaction portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Attempting to view a large email attachment in the interaction portal was resulting in slow loading and page responsiveness issues. Investigation showed there were numerous unnecessary height calculations happening when checking the dom elements, and this has been resolved with an update which will use the property mapping js file to make the screen more responsive when highlighting.

Entity highlight corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
In the email channel, the entity value highlighted under "Training" tab was different from the actual value detected. The location where it was detected was also different. This was traced to an inconsistency of the title shown on the UI of training data tab, and has been resolved by updating the title shown on each entity as well as using exit iteration instead of skip step in pyStructureEntity.
