- Reset the following Message Digest parameters:
- Use MIME Digest
Distribution lists that generate digests( a collection of list messages compiled into a single message) have the option of
using MIME or non-MIME digest formats. MIME formatted digests attach each submitted message as a separate message type
attachment, while non-MIME digests append the content of each message as plain text in the digest.
For lists where either the recipients are using older non-MIME compliant readers, or if the nature of the list is entirely
text based, non-MIME digests can be used. For all other applications, especially where structured messages including HTML and
other rich text formats are used, or if attachments are common, the MIME digest type is recommended.
Set the MIME digest. The default is enabled.
- Maximum Message Digest Size
The maximum size of the message digest. The default value is 0, which means no limit. If the message digest size is given
a value other than zero and it exceeds the limit, the message will be divided into several smaller messages.
