New Features
Mail disclaimer policy settings Mail disclaimer policy settings are now supported by Lotus
iNotes.
Web-style search A new notes.ini setting,
INOTES_WA_DISABLE_WEBSTYLE_SEARCH=1, allows
Lotus iNotes users to perform Web-style searches.
Disable URL links in edit mode By default, users can identify or open hotspot links (URLs)
while editing or responding to a message. You can prevent
this for Microsoft Inernet Exporers and return to the
behavior of previous releases. Use the setting
iNotes_WA_EnableOpenLinkInEditor=0 to prevent IE users
from accessing or identifying links in compose or edit mode.
The default setting is 1 (enabled).
New Prohibit Archive policy settings
available
Two Archive policy settings are now supported. Prohibit
archiving and Prohibit private archiving criteria can be used
to disable archiving for Lotus iNotes users, or to prohibit the
creation of private archive criteria.
Security policy settings for
configuring proxies
Previously, proxies were configured by use of a proxy-
config.properties file located in the Domino\data\properties
directory. This is no longer supported, and you must use a
security policy settings document to configure proxies.
ID Vault support Lotus iNotes users can take advantage of the Notes ID
Vault to back up their Notes ID. iNotes supports the use of
policies to enable this feature. Once ID Vault is enabled,
iNotes users will have an additional Security preference
Synchronize Notes ID with Vault. If this feature is not
enabled, the user preference does not display.
Prefetch Documents You can set a notes.ini so that the client loads the contents
of either the visible unread messages or of all visible
messages in an asynchronous manner after the view list is
loaded. The result is that messages will open from the view
faster, because the contents are not being loaded when the
message is opened, rather they have already been fetched
and exist in the view. Note that enabling this feature may
have some bandwidth or server CPU consumption trade-
offs. To enable this feature, use notes.ini setting
iNotes_WA_PrefetchDocuments=value, where:
1 = fetches all unread documents shown in the mail view
2 = fetches all documents shown in the mail view
Customizing color gradients You can now easily customize the color gradients used in
Lotus iNotes by editing the dwa.properties file in
forms85.nsf. All gradient fill and roundrect colors are now
defined in dwa.properties. To change colors, edit this file in
Lotus Domino® Designer and provide new color
specifications.
Notes.ini setting to unblock
Google™ Chrome browser
The Google Chrome browser is blocked by default. To allow
the use of Chrome, use
iNotes_WA_ChromeBrowserBlock=0. If this setting is
absent or set to any other value, the Chrome browser is
blocked.
Notes.ini setting to allow pass-thru As of Domino 8.5.1, pass-thru HTML that is enclosed within
