Notes Client

Prevent user from sending mail once Mail file quota has been exceeded
An optional new feature has been added to Notes 6.5.6 to enforce quotas when creating a document in a mail file, or when working in a local replica. Prior to the 6.5.6 release, if a quota was set on a Domino server mail file replica, the quota was not enforced on the local replica.

This new feature prevents users from creating mail or calendar entries in their mail file, either locally or on a server, and provides them with a warning message if they attempt to create a new mail message or calendar invitation. See "Enforcing quotas on new mail/calendar entries" in these release notes for additional information.

Notes Instant Messaging new status
Support for a new "In a Meeting" status has been added

Enhanced language support (Windows only)
Better integrated support for German Reform and Hungarian spell checking.

Daylight Savings Time changes - The United States and parts of Canada are extending the period of Daylight Savings Time (DST), beginning in 2007. From 2007 onward, DST will commence on the second Sunday in March (three weeks earlier than previously), and end on the first Sunday in November (a one week extension).

Domino Designer

Additional MIME APIs
Additional MIME APIs have been exposed in the C API SDK, to allow third-party developers to more easily develop applications which directly access and manipulate MIME data.

Domino Server

Support for reading TNEF objects (winmail.dat attachments)
Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange can be configured to send e-mail to other Outlook and Exchange users by encapsulating Microsoft-specific data in a Transport Neutral Encapsulated Format (TNEF) object. When so configured, Outlook sends a multipart/mixed MIME message, where Microsoft Rich Text Format (RTF) text is rendered as plain text in the first part of the multipart/mixed message. The original RTF data, however, is encapsulated in the TNEF object, along with any other objects from the original message: attachments, OLE objects, etc.

In previous releases, when Notes users received these messages, they could read the plain text rendition of the original RTF, but could not access any attachments which were sent in the original message.

Beginning with Domino 6.5.6, the MIME itemizer now recognizes TNEF objects, pulls out any attachments which are encapsulated in a TNEF object, and adds those attachments to the message before writing it to the Domino router's mail box.

For additional information, please see "Configuring the TNEF converter" in these release notes.

Recipient Journaling
In earlier Domino releases, for journaled messages, the SendTo, CC and BCC items were captured in the message, but not the actual recipients of the message. Since, for example, the SendTo/CC/BCC items may contain group names, and these groups may change over time, it is important for compliance purposes to be able to capture the expansion results at the time the message is being routed, so that information describing the actual recipients of the message is captured. Note that mail forwarding results in similar needs.

Starting with Domino 6.5.6, a new item has been added to the message being journaled that indicates the individual recipients of the message, including members of any groups that are expandable on the server doing the journaling. For groups that are to be expanded on other servers (for example, groups in other domains), the list includes those groups that are not expanded. The list also includes the result of any changed or added recipient addresses, such as those that result from mail forwarding, or by copying mail to another recipient via mail rules.

For additional information about this feature, see "Message journal now contains actual intended recipient names" in these release notes.
