Meta Data documents extend the functionality of Crossware Mail Signature. There should only be one document created for each type of meta data. Each document type and its purpose is outlined below:

Meta Data document types

Forward Reply String

The application attempts to determine the start of a reply in the MIME e-mail.

The system has built in functionality for detecting a reply and forward string in English emails, but it is not possible to hard code all the possible language combinations as to where the start of a reply is. Therefore, you can add your own Meta Data to the application. Please remember, in an HTML e-mail there will be HTML tags before the visible text.

The below is an example for the French language:

Text Only

This option allows you to define domains for which a text only version of the signature will be sent to. This is to allow e-mails for which it is known that in-line images will be blocked.


This functionality can now be reproduced using sub signatures and with "Use HTML File" functionality.

Other Domains

This options allows the configuration of additional email domains that are considered to be internal. Sub-signatures can be configured to be for internal or external emails.

This Meta Data should contain the internet email Domain and Notes Domains which are considered internal Domains.

8.5Templates

This options allows the configuration of additional 8.5 mail templates for Local Signatures. By default, the application recognises StdR85Mail as the 8.5 template. Add customised template names to instruct the application that these templates are for Notes 8.5.
