CONFIGURING


Specifying outbound MIME conversion options

If a server sends or receives messages in MIME format, you can set options to control how Domino® converts outbound Notes® rich-text messages into MIME for sending over SMTP.

Configuring how Domino converts outbound Notes rich-text messages to MIME format

About this task

Outbound conversion options apply to messages exported from the server. This includes Notes rich-text messages sent outbound over SMTP to another Domino server or other mail host and messages retrieved by the IMAP or POP3 service for sending to a client.

Settings in this section do not apply to messages delivered to mail files on the server or messages transferred over Notes routing. Nor do they apply to messages sent in MIME format from the client -- either messages sent by POP3 or IMAP clients or messages from a Notes client where the Location document specifies the use of MIME format for messages sent to Internet addresses.

Note: If the Internet mail format specified in the client's current Location document (Mail tab Format for messages addressed to Internet addresses field) is set to Notes rich-text, the client sends all messages in Notes rich-text, even if the Internet mail format in the User Preferences dialog box (Mail -> Internet -> Internet Mail Format) is set to send HTML.
