There is a known bug in the 8.0 mail template, that incorrectly shows friday January 1st, 2010 as the first week of 2010. Officially January 4th, 2010 starts the first week of 2010 and the week from December 28th to January 1st is the 53th week of 2009.
Not everyone seems to be affected by this bug, but if you are, all week numbers in Notes are one week ahead. It’s easy to check: just go to January 1st on your calendar in Notes. It should say “week 53 – 0 weeks left in year” at the botom. If it doesn’t, you are probably affected.
IBM supplies the following workaround: in the Notes client, go to File -> Preferences. In there, go to Calendar and To Do -> Regional Settings and look for the “Week Numbers” section. Set this to “Always use the ISO standard” and the week numbers should be fine. You can also do this via a notes.ini setting:
FooterWeekNo=2
It’s not a showstopper bug, but it can be irritating.
