MIME_CONVERT_HTML_TO_ATTACHMENT=1 & Message Format Issues

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Does anyone have an idea? At the moment, users are getting boxes instead of links or the alignment is off, etc… These notes.ini settings used to be on the server:

Mime_Convert_Html_to_Attachment=1

Mime_Convert_Alternates=0

I know the Mime_Convert_HTML_to_Attachment=1 is meant to make the server act like the R4.x SMTP MTA in that all body parts containing HTML code are moved to attachments. The other notes.ini parameter, when set to 0 (disabled), forces the CD conversion process to convert all parts of a multipart/alternative message, making plain text inline and creating attachments for html text.

Many users still have the prefers RT format for mail… probably the reason for these legacy settings, right? Should be in “keep in sender’s format” correct? …esp. for 6.x and later. Is it best to remove this and update all person documents to keep in sender’s format?

Yeah you are right best is to remove this parameters and enable “keep in sender’s format” for all the users.

Thanks and I agree… am planning on writing a script to update all. This is interesting… if the user with the problem (red Xs instead of images) forwards to someone else, it seems to be fine!?! I have checked proxy, perweb NSF/NTF are present, tried setting to Notes as browser, etc. Should we replace the database design or delete and re-create the perweb?
