Be careful using seamless upgrade after moving to CCH2

I have to thank my shared brain, Rob Axelrod, for this one.I hope you know about Seamless Upgrade by now. That's where you set a desktop policy to automatically convert mail files to a new template as soon as the user connects to the server for the first time with the new release.
Normally, the setting would look something like this where the "If Running" field contains "Release 8.0.2".
| Mail Template Information | ||||
| Note: The information in this section is only used during client upgrades. | ||||
| Prompt user before upgrading mail file: (If users have multiple machines or custom folders that they don't want the design replaced on) | ||||
| Old design template name for your mail files: | * | |||
| If Running This Version Of Notes: | Use This Mail Template: | |||
| mail8.ntf | |||
However if you have upgraded to 8.0.2 CCH2, you need to pay attention to what shows in the Help About IBM Lotus Notes screen. Don't assume that it's just Release 8.0.2 in there, because it's not.
You'll need to feed it Release 8.0.2 CCH2 to get it to work right. You'll see that version in the person document of people who have the CCH2 as well.
Just an FYI.
Awww, come on! You would have found that in testing, right?
