Description Send SMTP messages without losing Notes formatting and features In Catalog
No


Notes and Domino do a reasonable job of converting Notes rich text format to HTML when sending messages via SMTP. Several of problems:
* Sometimes messages are sent or received as plain text, losing almost all formatting
* Even as HTML, the translation is imperfect -- font sizes change, tables lose some proportion, etc.
* Some Notes features don't translate at all, such as buttons

The encapsulator takes care of this. Create your message, hit F9 to resolve names, and click save as draft. You can then cut the draft out of your mailbox and paste it into the encpsulation database, which will create a new outgoing message in your mailbox -- one that contains both the your message as a normal message and as a small** attachment, which is a database that contains the original message as-is.

Your internal Notes users can ignore the attachment. Your SMTP recipients who have Notes can laucnh the database, which allows the original, unaltered message to automatically display. Any non-Notes SMTP recipients can still see the message as Notes/Domino would normally convert it.

**Small is relative. It will add about 225k plus the size of your orignal message.

Projects can have short and readable URLs, e.g. http://mobilecontrols.openntf.org.

You can request a short URL to your project by sending a mail to support at openntf dot org. Put the word 'OpenNTF' somewhere in the subject.
Owners are the people with maximal rights. For example they can create releases and add more contributors.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Because of data privacy you cannot lookup other people's names but you have to type them in.

Enter a short description of the project here (up to 100 characters).

The short description shows up in the project UI and in some of the views.
In this field you should enter a more detailed description of your project.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
