CONFIGURING


Setting font and message options for languages

A single Domino® SMTP server can handle inbound and outbound messages in any language group or character set, including double-byte character sets. For each character set group, for example, Simplified Chinese, Domino provides default settings that control how servers convert messages in that character set group from Notes® rich-text format to MIME and vice-versa. You can change the default settings to customize conversions for specific languages.

About this task

Inbound settings specify font options that control how the text of a MIME message using a given character set tag displays in Notes. Outbound settings determine the character set tag and encoding to apply when converting Notes rich-text messages to MIME.

Procedure

1. Make sure you already have a Configuration Settings document for the server(s) to be configured.

2. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab and expand the Messaging section.

3. Click Configurations.

4. Select the Configuration Settings document for the mail server or servers you want to administer, and click Edit Configuration.

5. Click the Basics tab. If it is not already selected, select the field International MIME Settings for this document.

6. Click the MIME -> Settings by Character Set Groups tab.

7. Complete the following fields and then click Save & Close:

Setting character set options for outbound messages

About this task

You can specify the character set and encoding type for the header and body text of outbound messages. The settings you select do not affect attachments. For each language (or region) there is a default character set. For example, for Western Europe the default character set is ISO-8859-1, but other Latin character sets can also be used. You can indicate the specific character set and encoding to be used for outbound SMTP message headers and body content. In general, use the same character set for both the headers and the body of outbound messages. However, because some characters set groups, such as Korean, typically use different character sets for the headers and body, by default, for these languages, the character set specified for header text differs from the character set for body text.
