Use the Internet Mail property page to specify whether outbound messages with attachments will be encoded using Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) or uuencode. This option can be specified by e-mail domain. These settings override the default format.
Settings configured in client applications can override the default setting and the settings specified by e-mail domain. If the client specifies no content format option and no match is found in the e-mail domain options, the default setting will be used.
Note Message content should be set for
UUENCODE when transferring messages to Microsoft Mail 3.x with
Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP.
- Select the Internet Mail tab.
- Under Attachments (Outbound), select MIME or UUENCODE.
- Choosing MIME means that all attachments will be encoded using MIME, except when the client software overrides the option. If a MIME message is delivered to a non-MIME-aware client, the attachment may not be usable.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Plain text | A plain text MIME body part is generated for the message. If HTML is also selected, Microsoft Exchange Server provides both Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and plain text in a MIME multipart/alternative message. |
| HTML | A MIME body part in HTML is generated for the message. If Plain text is also selected, Microsoft Exchange Server provides both HTML and plain text in a MIME multipart/alternative message. HTML is an Internet standard that enables rich-text formatting such as bold, color, and italic to appear in messages. |
| Binhex | Renders the message body as text with any attachments encoded by the BinHex method, which is commonly used in the Macintosh operating system to encode 8-bit data transmitted on the Internet. |
For more information about MIME and uuencode, see Microsoft Exchange Server Concepts and Planning. For more information about e-mail domain options, see "Specifying Message Content by E-mail Domain" later in this chapter.

Subject: rcv unreadable files via e-mailIs there a known issue out there about not being able to "read" documents sent from other locations via e-mail? An office in France sends files over (jpg, .doc, gifs,txt, etc etc,) to Canada via e-mail......and they are not
readable! The text is garbled.....when sent back to them, they (the creators of the initial file) can read them. I'm running Exchange Server 5.5......but maybe my Unix server (which filters the mail prior to going into the Exchange), has an option disabled or is limited to the format (which in that case, becomes a Unix problem so ignore,,,but if its exchange...?!) Is this familiar to anyone? When France sends it over to UK or USA branches, they're readable...but not to ours.
