Relevant Product: Signature Manager Exchange Edition
Scenario
You are receiving an "HtmlAttribute merge clash" error for some emails that are being disclaimed by Mail Disclaimers or Signature Manager Exchange Edition. These emails are not being disclaimed as expected.
Cause
In the template that you have created you have specified one or more attributes in the <BODY> tag that is also present in the email being processed. For example the link attribute that controls the colour of a hyperlink.
Signature Manager Exchange Edition will not remove the offending attributes from the original message because, in doing so, our software would need to remove part of your email message. On the other hand, adding in a duplicate of the attribute would produce malformed HTML. Therefore, this error is logged for investigation.
Resolution
If it isn't possible to remove the offending attributes from the original message, then you must remove the offending attributes from the tag of the template. The error message will include the name of the policy that was being applied to the message.
1. Open Signature Manager Exchange Edition
2. From the tree on the left select the policy that was being applied

4. Select the Source button from the toolbar
