To run Internet Idioms, you must be running Microsoft Windows 95 or
Windows NT 4.0 with Microsoft Exchange Server and MAPI installed.
Note The Internet Idioms tool does not work with Microsoft Office 95 or 97 WordMail, because the WordMail forms don't support client extensibility. If you are using WordMail, you don't need the Internet Idioms tool because WordMail already contains most of the idioms included in this tool. In addition, this tool does not work with the simplified Send Note form included in the Microsoft Windows 95 Messaging Update. This prevents Internet Idioms from appending signatures to messages sent through Microsoft Internet Explorer, unless you do the following: From the Tools menu, choose Options, select the Send tab, and then clear the Use Simplified Send Note option.
If you read messages "on behalf of" another recipient using the Internet Mail Service component of Microsoft Exchange Server, Internet Idioms cannot change the read font.
To run the Internet Idioms tool
From the Start menu, choose Run.
Choose Browse to locate the directory where you copied Inetxdm.exe and its DLL.
Double-click Inetxdm.exe.
You can specify the default read font by setting options in the Idioms tab. After you set the default font, any message that was not sent in rich text format appears in this font, rather than in Arial 10. The Courier 10 font is recommended because it is a monospace font and easy to read.
To change the default read font
In the Microsoft Exchange Client Viewer, choose Options from the Tools menu.
Select the Idioms tab.
Note Internet Idioms is only available in English. When used with a non-English-language version of Microsoft Exchange, it generates reply text that consists of a mixture of English and the localized language.
To add or remove boilerplate message text
In the Microsoft Exchange Client Viewer, choose Options from the Tools menu.
Select the Idioms tab, and then select the Text check box.
Non-rich-text recipients will view your signature block in monospace font.
To compose a signature block that looks good in a monospace font
Create your text in Notepad or another monospace editor
Paste the text into the Idioms signature box. Note that signature block size cannot exceed 4K.
Another check box enables you to type a reply prefix string. If you select this check box, Microsoft Exchange changes the format of your replies to prefix each line of text with this string.
Note that if the original message consisted of Microsoft Exchange-style paragraphs, this function will place quotation marks around the entire paragraph with only a single-prefix character. It does not break the paragraph into lines. If a long message is created, or one that contains Microsoft Exchange-style paragraph lines in its first few lines, Internet Idioms prompts you to use the native Microsoft Exchange reply format.
After you select a read font, this setting overrides any other font that you select.
