PC Win: StripGatewayHeaders Requires FIPS TEXTBORDER

• Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2

SUMMARY

The StripGatewayHeaders=1 option for MSMAIL.INI in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows only works if the version of the Gateway creates the FIPS TEXTBORDER field on messages inbound to MS Mail.

The FIPS TEXTBORDER is a binary field that tells the Mail for Windows how many lines of the message text are actually header. If the gateway does not support this field then using this option would give undesired results--a corrupted message.

Please note that all 2.1 and earlier versions of gateways do not create TEXTBORDER.

MORE INFORMATION

StripGatewayHeaders=<0/1/2>

If this entry is 1, then message header text (coming above the dashed line) will be stripped from Mail messages that arrive via a gateway. Set the entry to 0 if you want to see the extended information supplied by the gateways, which typically includes things like message identifiers specific to the foreign mail system. Message header text supplied by native Mail clients is always stripped.

The default value is 1 (you do not see gateway information).

Setting the option to 2 will strip everything except X.400 headers.
