Note: Email message formatting has no bearing on indexing. Only the
words you see in your email client are indexing candidates. Invis-
ible source-code words, such as HTML markup tags, are ignored.
Message MIME types (advanced users)
An email message can contain message parts of possibly different MIME
(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Content-Types. The following
Content-Types are indexed and each corresponds to one of the indexed
document types:
• text/plain
• text/html
• application/rtf
• application/msword
• application/vnd.ms-excel
• application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
• application/msaccess
• application/pdf
• application/ms-tnef
An email message that is entirely plain text, not MIME, is indexed. Also, if an
email message has been attached to another email message, the attached
email message is not indexed.
