Specifying outbound MIME conversion options

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

• 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.

• 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.

If there is a table or forwarded mail headers, then the line length default is doubled so no line break occurs until 150.

• 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
