Message Formatting

Use this property page to determine formatting and conversion settings for messages sent to and received from the Internet.

Inbound Settings
These settings apply to messages being received from the Internet.

Number of Inbound Conversion Threads
Select the number of threads you want used by the GroupWise^® Internet Agent to convert inbound messages from MIME or RFC-822 format to the GroupWise message format. The default is 4 threads. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's /rt switch.

Outbound Settings
These settings apply to messages being sent to the Internet.

Number of Outbound Conversion Threads
Select the number of threads you want used by the Internet Agent to convert outbound messages from the GroupWise message format to MIME or RFC-822 format. The default is 4 threads. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's /st switch.

Default Message Encoding
Select the encoding method for your outbound Internet messages. You can select either Basic RFC-822 formatting or MIME formatting. MIME is the default message format. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's /mime switch.

If you select the Basic RFC-822 option, you can decide whether or not to have the Internet Agent UUEncode all ASCII text attachments to RFC-822 formatted messages. By default, this option is turned off, which means ASCII text attachments are included as part of the message body. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's /uueaa switch.

Message Text Line Wrapping

Enable Quoted Printable Text Line Wrapping
Select this option to use the Quoted Printable MIME standard for line wrapping. By default, this setting is on. If you turn the setting off, MIME messages go out as plain text and wrap text according to the number of characters specified in the Line Wrap Length for Message Text on Outbound Mail setting. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's /nqpmt switch.

Line Wrap Length for Message Text on Outbound Mail
Select this option to specify the line length for outgoing messages. This is useful if the recipient's e-mail system requires a certain line length. The default line length is 72 characters. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's /wrap switch.

Enable Flat Forwarding
Select this option to automatically strip out the empty messages that accumulate when a message is forwarded multiple times. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's /flatfwd switch.

Default Global Signature to Insert in Outbound Messages
Displays the default global signature for your GroupWise system selected using Tools > GroupWise > GroupWise System Operations > Global Signatures > Settings. If you want this Internet Agent to append a different global signature, select Override, then select the desired signature.

Apply Global Signature to Relay Messages
Select this option to append the global signature to messages that are relayed through your GroupWise system (for example, messages from POP and IMAP clients) in addition to messages that originate within your GroupWise system. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's /relayaddsignature switch.

Disable Mapping X-Priority Fields
Select this option to disable the function of mapping an x-priority MIME field to a GroupWise priority for the message. By default, the Internet Agent maps x-priority 1 and 2 messages as high priority, x-priority 3 messages as normal priority, and x-priority 4 and 5 as low priority in GroupWise. This setting corresponds with the Internet Agent's /nomappriority switch.
