CONFIGURING
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:
Check this box to enable use of nonstandard character set choices in the header and body of messages in any language group.
The language group displayed at the time you save and close the document is not the only one for which Domino saves settings. After you save the Configuration Settings document, Domino retains the settings for each language group that you modified.
These fields allow you to override default values for character sets, fonts, and so on, for individual character set groups.
Note: If no Server Configuration document exists, Domino uses the default typeface and point size settings. The default typeface used for HTML text is Default Sans Serif, and the point size is determined by the sender of the message. The default typeface for Plain Text (US-ASCII) is Default Monospace with point size of 10.
1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab and expand the Messaging section.
2. Click Configurations.
3. Select the Configuration Settings document for the mail server or servers you want to administer, and click Edit Configuration.
4. Click the MIME -> Settings by Character Set Groups tab.
5. In the Inbound Message Options -> Font Options section, complete the following fields, and then click Save & Close:
(default = Default Serif)
(default = Default Monospace)
(setting = 12)
Note: This value is always set to 12 regardless of the value you specify.
(default = 10)
Note: The font list displays every font available to the client system. However, when converting messages, Domino uses the Default fonts (Default Serif, Default Sans Serif, Default Monospace, and Default Multilingual) only. If you select a font other than one of the four Default fonts, Domino converts the text in all incoming messages to Default Monospace.
Setting character set options for outbound messages
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.
