Attachment encoding method |
When a Notes client
sends a rich-text message with a file attachment that contains 8-bit
data -- for example, program, image, sound, video, and application
files -- Domino encodes the
attachment data as ASCII text for SMTP transport. Choose the encoding
method best suited to the file types sent and supported by the majority
of likely message recipients. Choose one of the following:
- Base64 - (default) This is the preferred
method for encoding non-text data attachments when sending messages
to recipients who use MIME-compliant mail programs. Domino adds a MIME tag to describe what type
of file was sent. Sending files with MIME encoding ensures that the
recipient receives binary data (non-text) intact. Base64 encoding
converts binary data in attachments into a subset of the US-ASCII
character set and is slightly more efficient than UUencode, resulting
in a transmitted file approximately 37% larger than the original.
- Quoted Printable - This method is best
suited to sending text-based files to recipients that use MIME-compliant
mail programs. Quoted-Printable (QP) encoding replaces each special
character in the attachment with an equal sign (=) followed by two
hexadecimal digits, which represent the 8-bit character code. Printable
ASCII characters remain unencoded. QP provides efficient encoding
of text-based files, creating an encoded file that's only a fraction
larger than the original. However, for non-text files, QP encoding
can result in encoded files that are two to three times the size of
the original.
- UUencode - Use UNIX-to-UNIX encoding on
servers that send message attachments primarily to recipients who
use UNIX™ or older PC mail programs.
UUencode increases the size of the encoded file by about 42%.
- BinHex - Use primarily when sending binary
data to recipients who use Macintosh mail programs
Note: This field does not control encoding for messages sent
from the Macintosh version of the Notes client.
To configure attachment encoding for messages sent from Macintosh
clients, use the field Macintosh attachment conversion on
the tab. |
Message Content |
Specifies how Domino structures
the MIME content of messages when converting Notes rich-text messages before sending them
over SMTP. Choose one:
- Convert from Notes to plain text - (default) Domino converts the text in a Notes rich-text document to plain
text. If the message contains file attachments or images, Domino creates a multipart/mixed
MIME message with the images and attachments following the text/plain
part. Use this option in organizations that send most of their outbound
SMTP mail to mail systems that are unable to handle MIME messages
containing multiple text parts (for example, messages with a multipart/alternative
structure that includes text/plain and text/html parts).
- Convert from Notes to HTML - Domino converts the text in a Notes rich-text document to HTML. If the message
contains file attachments, Domino creates
a multipart/mixed MIME message and includes the attachment in that
part. If the message contains images, Domino includes
the images in the message body by creating a multipart/related part.
If you are experiencing problems when MIME messages are rendered within
an IMAP client, or when Notes is
interacting with an Exchange server, use this setting or use Convert
from Notes to Plain Text and HTML.
- Convert from Notes to Plain Text and HTML -
Select this option on internal server for Domino to best preserve rich-text content
when converting messages from Notes format
to MIME. Domino converts
the text in a Notes rich-text
document to both plain text and HTML by creating a multipart/alternative
body part that contains both the text/plain and text/html parts. If
the message contains file attachments, Domino creates a multipart/mixed MIME message
and includes the attachment in that part. If the message contains
images, Domino creates a
multipart/related part and includes the image in that part along with
the text parts. If you are experiencing problems when MIME messages
are rendered within an IMAP client, use this setting or use Convert
from Notes to HTML.
- Create multi-part alternative including conversion
and encapsulation - Domino converts Notes rich-text messages and creates
an additional file attachment that contains a Notes database with the original message in
it. This option results in a message nearly twice the size of the
original. Use this option only in organizations that send most of
their outbound SMTP mail to recipients using Notes 4.x clients.

Convert tabs to spaces |
Choose one:
- Yes - Enables the Router to change tabs
to spaces when converting outbound messages to MIME format. Use this
option only in organizations that send most of their outbound SMTP
mail to recipients using mail clients that do not recognize tabs.
- No - (default) The Router does not change
tabs to spaces when converting outbound messages to MIME format.
|
Outbound line length |
(Default = 75) The maximum line length for the
body of outbound messages; useful when a message contains long lines
of text without spaces -- for example, URLs. If there is a table
or forwarded mail headers, then the line length default is doubled
so no line break occurs until 150. |
Lookup Internet address for all Notes
addresses when Internet address is not defined in document |
All addresses on messages sent to Internet recipients
must be in Internet format (RFC 821/822 format). A Notes user may send a message to both Notes addresses and Internet addresses.
To specify how Domino converts
the addresses of Notes recipients
on messages sent to the Internet, choose one:
- Enabled - On outbound Internet messages,
if the address of any recipient is in Notes format, Domino reads the user's Internet
address from the Person document and adds it to the message before
sending.
- Disabled - (default) Domino forms Internet addresses by converting
spaces into underscores and encoding Domino domains
with percent signs. For example: John_Smith%Notes@renovations.com
|
Perform exhaustive lookups when converting
Notes addresses to Internet addresses |
Choose one:
- Disabled - (default) The Router limits
its search to the first directory that contains the address.
- Enabled - The Router searches all directories
to ensure that there are no duplicate recipient names that might prevent
delivery to the correct mail file. Performing exhaustive lookups is
time-consuming and places a heavy load on the server.
