Explanation:
Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) is a Microsoft standard for tunneling rich data over the Internet to a recipient. Rich data includes Microsoft Rich Text Format (RTF) text, OLE objects, file attachments, and other application data such as Microsoft Outlook calendar data. Microsoft Outlook clients and Microsoft Exchange can be configured to format emails for sending to recipients who use Microsoft Outlook. In such a configuration, MS Outlook sends the RTF data as plain text and places all other objects into the TNEF stream, which is usually attached to the email as a file named winmail.dat. Email systems from other vendors may not be able to translate winmail.dat. Information on how to prevent winmail data being sent to Internet users from MS Exchange is documented and publicly available from the Microsoft Support Web page. However, that configuration may not be enabled for the MS Exchange systems which send email to your Domino server.
IBM Lotus Domino uses the TNEF Converter feature to extract file attachments from the TNEF stream and include the Rich Text content inside the message. The TNEF Converter runs on a Domino SMTP server. To enable the TNEF Converter feature, add TNEFEnableConversion=1 to the NOTES.INI file on the server.
Default:
Conversion is disabled by default, which is equivalent to having the TNEFEnableConversion setting absent or set to 0.
Recommendation:
Enable this option so that the fidelity of incoming e-mail sent by Microsoft Exchange can be improved.
Restrictions:
This Domino feature became available in versions 6.5.6 and 7.02. Domino 7.0.2 FP1 and FP2 include fixes to crash issues associated with having this option enabled. See Technote 1252932
