As part of the native MIME support in R5, the Notes client detects the most appropriate character set for sending a message to the Internet. All the regions listed below are supported.

In addition to the character set support on the client, the R5 Domino Router provides conversion between Notes Rich Text and MIME (for backward compatibility). With respect to international, the Router supports all of the regions listed below. Where previously with the SMTP MTA multiple MTAs were required to provide complete character set support to a WW organization, now only a single R5 Domino Server is required. This extensive character set support is enabled by default when a server has been configured to support SMTP.

The language groups and the associated default character sets are:

Language Groups	Character Set
English	US-ASCII
Unicode	UTF-8
Japanese	ISO-2022-JP
Simplified Chinese	GB2312
Korea	ISO2022-KR
Traditional Chinese	BIG5
Thai	Windows-874
Western	ISO-8859-1
Central European	ISO-8859-2
Baltic Rim	Windows-1257
Cyrillic	KOI8-R
Arabic	Windows-1256
Greek	Windows-1253
Hebrew	Windows-1255
Turkish	Windows-1254
Vietnamese	Windows-1258

This support is provided in all language versions of the product including International English.

Where changes are required to the default settings, these can be made on the client in the Personal Address Book in International MIME Settings and on the server in the Domino Directory in Server Configuration - MIME Settings. The settings that can be configured include inbound and outbound options for character set, encodings and font.
