HOWTO: Enable/Disable HTML Email Processing and Rendering in BES 4.1 SP5

Logical Overview
The logic behind the SQL queries being applied is a two-fold approach – a) enables the feature at the server level, and b) enables the feature at the user level for ALL users.

Pre-Requisite: BlackBerry devices must have OS 4.5 in order to take advantage of the HTML feature found deep within BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1 SP5. This OS is not currently available to the general public and should not be requested on any of the BlackBerryFFN network websites.

Disclaimer:
Please note that this is an unsupported configuration by RIM. There are known issues and conditions that can potentially cause your messaging (Exchange) server/environment to crash. This is not a recommended solution for large BlackBerry deployments. If you do not have OS 4.5, which is currently in beta, on your devices, there is no reason to enable this feature. In the event any adverse impact or issues should appear, a method to disable this feature has been included in the package.

By applying this patch, you agree that the BlackBerryFFN network or Jibi (me) or Research In Motion are not responsible for any damage that may be caused by applying the patch in your environment.
